The answer is both, Yes and No.
The term 'Nurse' that Shakespeare uses in Romeo and Juliet, does NOT refer to what we, in modern times, call a Nurse (as in a Medical Nurse).
Another meaning of 'Nurse' is a Lady in Waiting (a Valet for a woman) or more simply put, a Woman's Personal Servant/Maid. Typically speaking ALL, and usually ONLY, wealthy women had a 'Nurse' or 'Nurse-maid' at that time.
But that is not the meaning of Nurse in Romeo and Juliet. This Nurse was Juliet's wet-nurse, which means that Juliet fed as a baby from the breasts of the Nurse rather than from her mother. The nurse remembers in Act 1 Scene 3 that it was eleven years since Juliet was weaned (stopped breastfeeding) because the Nurse put bitter wormwood on her nipple to make it taste bad to Juliet. She has continued as a servant since but is remembered as a Nurse and has a special relationship with Juliet.
