Why can't nuns give sacraments?
Roman Catholic AnswerNuns can't "give" the sacraments because they are nuns not priests. However, nuns can be Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist and distribute communion at mass or take it to the sick and shut-ins. Any trained lay person can do this. Also, nuns can baptize (as can any lay person) in the case of an emergency when a priest is not available.

How do nuns bless other nuns?
There is a clearly defined hierarchy in religious houses. Usually a Mother Superior is in charge. Nuns cannot ( Bless) other nuns. I never heard of this. certainly religious superiors get their share of saluatations and ceremonial greetings, but that is not the same, as say one Knigh promoting another to say, Baron. Nuns are NOT ordained priest-equivalents thus do not fall under the sacrament of ordination. Only a Bishop can ordain priests. Nuns, after passing though what is called he postulancy- are in fact raised to the status of sister, but I am not sure who performs this honor. My Guess the Mother Superior of the convent= sometimes called reverend mother, or similar titles.
