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.

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

Perhaps you’re right.
