What country still has lots of Catholic nuns / sisters?
I want to be a nun, but in my country there are many opportunities for this kind of vocation. I live in Canada in the GTA. I've never seen a nun in real life before (except on halloween … but then they were only kids and teenagers dressed, making fun of religious …)
There are Catholic priests, including many here in Canada more ..
So, is there any country that have left many nuns / monks?
The first thing you need to do is research.
Find out what the closure orders which are not.
Then contact a convent of the order (s) of interest. It is likely that you can steer to the right place. Many convents / monasteries "Vocation Directors (Orthodox monasteries anyway.) You might want to start with: the Benedictine Sisters (OSB)

If you want to help the sick, fist of getting a degree in nursing or (do not know if this is possible) to find an order to pay her nursing education.
You can take a visit or two to a convent in order to determine whether it really is a call. If not, you will be miserable! That is one reason why the novitiate program lasts four years.
