Religious sisters are divided up into various orders (like the male Regular clergy) and alkso by apostolate. The apostolate is roughly a job function or career mission- for example the Teaching apostolate, The Health-care apostolate, and so on. There are also cloistered fully enclosed contemplative nuns having only a limited-duty social outreach. some of these do some useful work such as manufacturing religious articles and priestly vestments, etc (as is the case with some fo the Blue Chapel nuns in Uniion City) but basically they are divided by apostolate- Teaching or educational-I would say the majority of nuns one regularily encounters, Health-care in hospitals, hospices and the like- usually Franciscans but also Dominicans and Sisters of St.Joseph in the health care apostolate- finally the enclosed or cloistered contemplatives which have a hermetical life-style but are involved in some socially useful roles as in making religious articles and costumes, etc. Most of the health care apostolate sisters were or are literally Nursing sisters and are licensed to work and instruct in hospitals.l (for example Saint Mary"s in Hoboken)
