Yes, Mother Teresa was a nun. She started the Missionaries of Charity.
Yes Mother Teresa was a nun. She decided to become a nun at age 18 even though her family didn't want her to be a nun.
Clarification:
Although the words sister and nun are frequently used interchangeably, they are, technically, different. A nun spends nearly her entire life in a convent while a sister works outside in the world. Mother Teresa should correctly be labeled as a sister.
