You are a little confused. Catholic nuns are cloistered and do no work outside of their monastery. The women that you see that teach, nurse, work in parishes are Sisters (although they are commonly referred to as nuns, they are not). All nuns AND Sisters take a vow of poverty when they are fully professed and may not receive any salary. Any salary that their Order mayreceive is paid for by whatever institute they that work for: the hospital, the parish, the school, etc. There is no "Catholic Church" institute, only particular Churches which are individual Bishops and their dioceses.
