Each order has a mission, ordained by God. Some nuns work as teachers in Catholic schools or as [[nurse]]s in [[hospital]]s. All nuns must take a vow of poverty, and any money they earn goes towards supporting their convent or order. A woman who is a widow or is not a virgin may become a nun, but a divorcee may not, unless approved by the [[Vatican]]. In Catholicism, women are not allowed to become [[priest]]s, but becoming a nun is considered a fulfilling and rewarding choice. Women interested in becoming nuns are encouraged to try living in a convent for a spell so they might decide whether they would really like to serve God in that capacity. A beginner nun is called a novice and is required to take vows of chastity and poverty. Leaving the sisterhood after taking vows is frowned upon, much like [[divorce]].
