The first most difficult and important step precedes the rite itself...a thorough examination of conscience. Where the confessor brings to mind all the offenses against god and fellow man since last receiving absolution.
Upon entering the confessional (many now have the option of "behind the screen" or "face to face") the confessor kneels or sits and begins with the sign of the cross and says "Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been ____ since my last confession. These are my sins. (confessor lists his offenses) then finishes saying "these are my sins" or "for these and another offenses I may have forgotten, I am truly sorry"
The priest may then discuss the implications and administer a penance and generally asks the confessor to recite an act of contrition (a specific prayer Catholics pray) The priest then administers absolution "forgiv[ing] the sins in the name of the father, son and Holy Spirit" Then the person saays thank you father.

Do you have to go to confession if you don't have mortal sins?
As you put the question, no, you must go to confession once a year, regardless, and you must go to confession anytime that you are in mortal (serious) sin. Without going to confession you may not receive Holy Communion without damning yourself. Those are the only times that you are required to go to confession.Outside of that, you need to go to confession regularly if you have any desire whatsoever to grow in the spiritual life, and obtain heaven. Once a month is the absolute minimum for that.

Why did the nurse ask Juliet about shrift?
The nurse says "Have you leave to go to shrift today?" because she is leading up to telling her that Romeo has arranged their wedding. Shrift is confession. About the only thing Juliet was allowed to leave the house to do was to go to church either for Mass or confession. Now, to go to confession she would go to see Friar Lawrence at his cell at the church (probably in attached cloisters). So if she has permission to go to confession, she can go to the church where Romeo and the Friar will be waiting so she can be married.
