US RN/Bachelor degree from Australia

[Ahua12]

Thank you in advance for any advice. Sorry to be so lengthy with my question.

This is my situation, I graduated from The University of Notre Dame in Australia with a Bachelor Degree in Nursing. I have moved back to the US and had my transcripts evaluated by CGFNS which stated my education was short some theory hours. I was required by the board of nursing in Florida to take a remedial nursing course 96 hours theory/ 96 hours clinical to be eligible to sit the NCLEX. I took the class as well as the NCLEX and passed.

I am currently a working RN in Florida.

I would like to move to another state and work at a magnet hospital but not sure if I am considered a RN with a Bachelor or if I am a RN with a associates degree. It is my understanding that magnet hospitals only hire RN with a bachelor degree.

My question is how do I figure out what my RN status is? My nursing program in Australia included a research unit, critical care unit and nursing management and leadership unit.

Your academic degree is a bachelor's, regardless of what country it was earned in. The fact that it was earned in a Commonwealth country and is thus considered equivalent to a North American bachelor's degree is a bonus. You now also have passed the NCLEX and are licensed by an American state. You should indeed be applying for RN jobs requiring a bachelor's: you have all the necessary credentials.
