Is NMR spectroscopy performed using nitrogen nuclei? If yes, then where? 




Of course yes -- because of the spin $\ce{^{15}N}$ and the much lesser used $\ce{^{14}N}$ nuclei posses:

P.S. If there were no NMR active nitrogen nuclei, [3D NMR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-resonance_nuclear_magnetic_resonance_spectroscopy) would not this widespread in protein research:
