What about the translation "a nurse"...

When talking about profeessions in Romanian the indefinite article is not usually used - it is implied by the noun. See also the latest comment by coto.i on this discussion: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/26129267

It was explained to me that 'mama' without 'mea' is understood as being 'my' mother. So why not: Mama este asistentã.

@houdmoed, You are right!

Don't you need "medical" after "asistentă"?

Could this sentence also mean "My mother is an assistant?"
