Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerA nuns education is entirely dependent upon what order she belongs to. Normally, when speaking of nun, as opposed to a sister, the basic education required would be religious, spirituality, history, etc. There would be basic education in prayer, etc., and Latin if that is the language used for the Office. Some nuns are not strictly cloistered, and may, perhaps run a school or, in the case of some Benedictine nuns, they may teach or nurse, like a sister. These nuns are sent for advanced education to the appropriate school.

What service did monks and nuns provide?

Monks and nuns are cloistered religious, and, as such, do not normally leave their monastery. The biggest thing that monks and nuns have provided in the way of "social services" would be education, they were really the first public education provided to the laity. They, also, in their Scriptoriums kept literature alive by their saving copies of many works of antiquity which otherwise would have been completely lost to us.

What challenges did the nuns in the order called Sisters of St. Joseph face?

The Ursulines are Sisters not nuns. They were founded in the sixteenth century and were the very first Order that was founded that was not composed of cloistered nuns, instead they were founded for the education of young girls so the Sisters were not to be cloistered but to be out in the community. There was Episcopal opposition to a religious order of women that was not strictly cloistered, at that time.
