no, celibate religious persons ( monks, unmarried priests, and as you mentioned Nuns, are rare-to-non-existant in most Protestant denominations. Luther was not only opposed to celibacy ( he married an ex-Nun- Katharine Von Bora)- but also chauvinistic as , well a Foreign Legionaire would be- he followed the Paulist track that women should not take any active role in the management of the church- apart from well, child care, singing hymns, etc. This ruled out female religious as Catholics know them. ( it is rare to find a Lutheran church named after a female saint). There are nuns and monks- which evolve into celibate priests- in the Anglo-Catholic branch of Episcopal Church, in the US, among the men- they are known as the Cowley Fathers. In a Cowley monastery rectory- there are eight breviary officers who are in charge. These men have specific responsibilities. There are also Episcopal Nuns- again rare. Not any in Lutheranism or the Baptist faith. There are Deaconesses who are involved in charitable deeds- such as nursing, in Lutheran Homes and Hospitals for example, but they are categorically NOT NUNS.
Until the early 1970s there were a handful of Methodist communities of "nuns". They took simple vows (not the solemn vows of Catholic nuns), and engaged in teaching and Bible-missions. Some wore grey dresses and starched collars with a short veil. Never numerous, they are now gone from the church.
The Religious Society of Friends is a religious movement, whose members are known as Friends or Quakers. Unlike many other groups that emerged within Christianity, the Religious Society of Friends has tended away from creeds, and away from hierarchical structure. There is no concept of an order or a religious hierarchy. Therefore, there are no monks, priests, or nuns in the Quaker church. All members are equal. The membership picks their leader, or what other churches call a "priest". The church also uses other people to assist the leader.
In many ways, the Quakers or Society of Friends is similar to the Church of the Brethren and other church organizations whose ordinary members choose those who become church leaders.
It has been said that rather than Quakers have abolished Priests they have abolished the laity and all are therefore Ministers.
Baptist churches do not have monks or nuns. Baptist churches teach that there are only two offices laid out in scripture-pastors and deacons. Teachers are usually lay people. Baptist churches teach it is all members of a local church responsibility to witness for Christ and show the love of Christ in their lives.
