But I'd have to become Catholic first.
Good idea, or not so much?

Becoming a nun is no small matter. It is a life long commitment. Many people believe that true nuns are “called” to the position by God. A “calling” or vocation may come from a dream, a vision or even an overwhelming desire to commit one’s life to God. If you feel that you have been “called” or have a vocation, than you may be someone who should become a nun. What do you need to do to become a nun? The first thing you should be is Catholic. If you are already Catholic, than you are on the right track. If you are not Catholic, than you will need to look into converting to Catholicism. If you would like to convert, your best course of action is to visit your local Catholic church. There a priest will be able to work with you on the steps you will need to take to become Catholic. Once you have become Catholic, you are now ready to look into what it takes become a nun. Nuns need to be unmarried. In the Catholic church this means that you should be both unmarried now and never married before. The Catholic church does not recognize civil divorces and obtaining a divorce from the Church is not easy. You can become a nun however, if you have been married in the past and your husband has passed away. While the Catholic church does frown upon pre-marital sex, a woman can become a nun if she is not a virgin (as long as she has not married). If you meet these standards; Catholic and unmarried/undivorced; you are free to become a nun. Your next step will be to decide what order you would like to join. Nuns have groups that are called orders. Each order has its own set of rules that dictate how the nun of that order can act. The rules for each order may decide how a nun can dress, whether the nun can own property and what causes a nun may pursue. Choosing an order is very important. While all orders of nuns require that you take a vow of chastity, the level of strictness varies from order to order. While some people may feel that wearing a habit is an important aspect of being a nun, others may feel that the habit is outdated. While some may feel that taking a vow of poverty will show dedication, others may feel that belonging will not interfere with a nun’s dedication to God. You will need to examine your own beliefs and match your beliefs with a suitable order. God Bless

Well it's entirely up to. Is this like the spur of the moment kind of deal? Now it may seem like a good idea, but what about later?
I'm pretty sure people will greet you with open arms, but you should probably think of the pros and cons of the decision. Maybe you might not want to be a Nun but you just want to be more connected within your church. You can try joining the choir or see if there are any "clubs" within the church. I know in my church there's this 50+ club, there's this strength finders group that meets for a few weeks.
I'm not saying you shouldn't become a Nun. You should just make sure to see if that is what you want.
And of course becoming a Catholic would be the first step. If being a Nun doesn't work out I'm sure you could resign.
Do whatever makes you happy, but make sure you think about it first

If you want to do that and you truly have your heart set on it then I say for you to look into it although you would have to practice celibacy pretty much for as long as you're a nun if I'm not mistaking.

Trust me, as somebody who was raised that way: you dont want to be Catholic.
Unless you really enjoy not having Wednesday or Sunday as a part of your week.

well, I think you might want to think about the celebacy thing---you will at least need to have some good toys to take to the convent with you...
I suggest that you wait until you make Level 5 before you decide something that important...
