We can't specify the position of an electron around the atom, applying the same principle we also can't specify the position of the nucleus, right?

Right. The nucleus has a much larger mass, however, which *usually* corresponds to a smaller uncertainty in position. In addition, if people talk about the uncertain position in an electron, they usually mean the relative position of electron and nucleus. Due to the big mass differences, this is roughly the same as an uncertain position of the electron.
