A Roman Catholic Answer:

Yes you need to be a Roman Catholic to be a Nun in the Roman Catholic Church.

Nuns play a very important role in the Church. They can distribute the Holy Communion to the faithful, tell a sermon (Homily), help prepare the Holy Communion, assist the priests if they need any help.

They are also allowed to run schools, hospitals, NGOs, etc.
