American nuns rarely wear the habit these days so they look like normal women. Some of them work as nurses, others withdraw from the world and live in convents. I've never seen a habit-wearing nun in England but when I visit Ireland there are packs of them walking down the street.

There are nuns in almost any country where the catholic church has presence. Surely there are nuns and comvents (where they live) in the USA.

They're everywhere. We have two diocesan orders where I live and about 15 other orders represented in our diocese alone...and our diocese is fairly small. We even have two orders of cloistered sisters. Also, all of these orders except one wear habits.
