Nirvana is a term to describe the ultimate state of consciousness which arises after a very long practice of meditation.
One begins by choosing a meditation technique, which helps one to become more aware of one's thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. Over time, one's awareness grows, and one becomes conscious of deeper and deeper levels of one's being. Finally, the dew drop of the individual "I" drops into the ocean of cosmic consciousness, and enlightenment (or nirvana) is attained.

Why do monks Meditate?
I suspect that nuns meditate for the same reason others do. Meditation helps strengthen awareness. Meditation helps us to see that we are not the mind, not the emotions, not the body.

And finally, meditation brings one closer to a sense of godliness, of the divine.
