Tell her yes you are prying!

It' a dangerous world out there! :) She is your child and you worry! You sound very flexible already open your home to her friends after 1am!
She is used to being away at college and *not* having a curfew. Dorm life is like a 24/7 slumber party sometimes. Maybe sit down and talk about the difference between away at college life and home life? I would not accept arguing about rules though. She is 19 and old enough to show you respect and consideration.

Congratulations to your dd finishing nursing school! :)
