The word "devotion" in the Catholic religion refers to a disposition of will to do promptly what concerns the worship and service of God. Although devotion is primarily a disposition or attitude of the will, acts of the will that proceed from such dispositions are also expressions of devotion. Essential to devotion is readiness to do whatever gives honor to God, whether in public or private prayer (worship) or in doing the will of God (service). A person who is thus disposed is said to be devoted. His devotedness is ultimately rooted in a great love for God, which in spiritual theology is often called devotion. (from Fr. Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary).
If you are using the word in a protestant sense of daily prayer and meditation, then a nun's "devotions" are usually stipulated to her by her Rule, which would be determined by which Order she belongs to: Benedictine, Cistercian, Carthusian, Carmelite, or other solemnly professed religious.
