Morphology
The meaning 'a school where students are trained to become nurses' is directly and compositionally built from 'nursing' (care of patients/field of study) + 'school' (educational institution). This is a straightforward noun–noun compound following common cross‑linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The noun nursing school comes from the simple idea of a place where people learn to nurse, meaning 'to care for the sick'. These schools began next to hospitals so students could practise real care, so today nursing school means a school that trains people to become nurses.
