EDIT: CNU is the authority for higher education in Nicaragua. There is no RA/NA system there, and the RA/NA type system doesn't exist practically anywhere else outside of the United States
Well, with the exception of schools like Amity University (India) and some others, foreign schools don't normally carry American accreditation, nor should that ever be an expectation since foreign schools are subject to the accreditation systems within their own countries. That being said, I do recall a UCN degree having been evaluated as equivalent to U.S. RA.
When it comes to foreign degrees (and more with degrees from foreign schools that are not well-known in the U.S.), recognition will have to come through a foreign degree evaluator first and it's commonplace for schools to require that evaluation before you can enroll, so expect the same scrutiny when applying for academic roles.
