Hi. Is there any websites that anyone knows about where you could ask a nun or a sister something? Or any educated person in the religious life about vocations? I honestly don’t have a clue about what my vocation is, but I’m pretty sure it has something to do with assisting and caring for the elderly. Hmm… I don’t know at all. Maybe I am destined for the religious life. I do love St. Faustina. She is my role-model of all the saints. So… if anyone knows, just let me know. Thank you…
 
You should contact the vocations director for your diocese. They will be able to find someone who you can talk to and who can guide you through discernment.

If after discernment you find that you are called to religious life or even whilst still discerning, try researching different orders. You can get into contact with them, perhaps visit a few. They will obviously know best what their life is like!

However, I must warn that after looking at your other posts here it seems you suffer from bipolar disorder. I hate to be negative but orders will generally require a prospective sister to be in good physical and mental health. If this is something that is ongoing and is not likely to be successfully eradicated then religious life may not be for you. There are still ways to assist and care for the elderly without being in the religious life.

Yes you can.

There’s a popular page on Facebook called “Ask a Catholic Nun”: facebook.com/AskACatholicNun

You can try that.
 
From what you say you are drawn to, I would recommend taking a look at the Little Sisters of the Poor. Their founder, St. Jeanne Jugan, was canonized fairly recently.
