    Having gone to school for nursing doesn’t necessarily mean she’s been licensed as a nurse though.

    Like how “I went to law school” doesn’t mean “I’m a lawyer”.

      Sure, she needs to have passed the tests and be practicing, which she seems to have done/be doing.

      In your other example, you need to pass the bar and maintain that status to be called a lawyer.

        Which is why it’s weird for her to say “I went to school for nursing” rather than “I’m a nurse”. If your lawyer described herself like that you probably want a new lawyer. 🙂

        Which actually rather implies that she may not be licensed as a nurse. From what I can tell a nursing license is not needed for all midwife certifications.
