Yes, there are Buddhist nuns as well as monks. They're known as Bhikkhuni.
There is no such thing as a Buddhist priest, as in the sense of Christianity. There are Monks, who have dedicated their lives to the Dharma to become enlightened. These monks may perform certain rituals and may teach others as needed. But Monks, in general, study the teachings (the Dharma), meditate, and do the chores needed in daily life.
