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.

What were the similarities and differences between priests and monks or nuns?

Both priests and monks/nuns are dedicated to spiritual pursuits and service to others.
