Military nurse in war,YES...a military veteran. Civilian nurse in war, YES...a VETERAN of her occupation but not a MILITARY Veteran. Another words, the word "Veteran" is not strictly a military term. A person can be a veteran doctor, veteran lawyer, veteran school teacher, etc. Veteran means someone that has been doing that job/occupation for a long time.
The widow's of veterans have few extra or new benefits. If their spouse had retired with benefits, they would continue to receive the ability to access military health care and shop on military bases, as well as receive some portion of their spouses' retirement pay. Otherwise there is little to assist a veteran's widow. My mother lost her health benefits pre 1982. I took her to a Navy hospital for a surgery. The surgeon told me, after surgury, that congress had cut widows health benefits. Soon after she received a new military ID, On the back it said "Benifits No" Widow WWII Vet

By definition, a veteran is someone that served in the military. There are other used of the term for those that have been in jobs and skill sets for long periods of time. But the use of veteran for Vetereans Day is specific to the military type.
