Yes, Urea does contain Nitrogen (N). Two Nitrogen atoms are covalently bonded to the molecule (as amines) which is just under half of urea's total mass (urea is 47% Nitrogen by weight). The Chemical formula for Urea is CO(NH2)2.
From a biochemistry perspective, urea is your body's way of excreting the leftovers from processing protein as well as from amino acids or ammonia as these would be very toxic if not excreted properly.
It's the same nitrogen found in some fertilizers, but the amount of urine needed to create a bomb or meth would be far beyond the ability of the body (or several) to produce. You would need about 200 cows to fill a nurse tank with enough ammonia for illegal uses. (That's a lot of Mountain Dew!!!)
If you're asking more only because you're curious, a web search brought up many helpful links, including wise geek. :-) Have fun and stay curious!

What is The percentage of nitrogen in urea?
Urea is typically 45-46% nitrogen.
What is the formula to calculate urine urea nitrogen?
(amino acid (grams)/ 6.25)-(UUNg (urine urea nitrogen) +4g)
What is a soluble form of nitrogen waste?
Urea
What is the Chemical formula for urea nitrogen?
Formula: (NH2)2CO
What does the liver change into urea?
the liver filters the nitrogen out if your blood
Does urine contain urea nitrogen and uric acid?
Yes, urine contains urea nitrogen and uric acid.
what is the nitrogen percentage in urea?
Urea is typically 45-46% nitrogen.
What is The percentage of nitrogen in urea?
Urea is typically 45-46% nitrogen.
What does a blood urea nitrogen test do?
The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures the level of urea nitrogen in a sample of the patient's blood.
Is urea crystals element?
No, urea is a nitrogen compound.
Which organic molecule puts extra strain on kidneys because of the effort necessary to convert ammonia to urea?
Proteins contain the majority of nitrogen in the body which is what will ultimately form urea.
The nitrogen from amino acid breakdown is?
Urea. It is measured by the level of BUN (blood urea nitrogen).
Is carpet urea same as nitrogen urea?
No,carpet urea is urea formaldehyde it is aproduced by treating urea with formaldehyde
Is there urea in your sweat and tears?
Yes, urea is found in sweat and tears. Urea is a waste product that is excreted in sweat as a way for the body to get rid of excess nitrogen. Tears also contain urea, along with other components like water, salt, and lysozyme.
How many units of urea are in 1 ton?
Urea is 46-0-0, and ammonium nitrate is 34-0-0. Both of these products contain nothing but nitrogen, but the nitrogen is at different percentages. Urea contains 920 actual pounds of nitrogen per ton, and ammonium nitrate contains 680 actual pounds of nitrogen by ton (2,000 x 46% = 920 and 2,000 x 34% = 680)
How many units of nitrogen in 217 pounds of urea?
Assuming the urea has the normal grade of 46% nitrogen, it has a total of 100 pounds, or units, of nitrogen.
Is blood urea and blood urea nitrogen same?
What is the difference between urea and BUN
