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.

What is the word origin for the word shrift?
Shrift is the noun form of the verb to shrive, which means to be forgiven. In Shakespeare, it refers exclusively to the sacrament of confession in Catholicism. Thus when Hamlet fakes the death-warrant for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern he says they should be "put to sudden death, no shriving time allowed", that is, not allowing them the sacrament of confession, so they must go to purgatory, rather than to heaven. In Romeo and Juliet, the Nurse asks "have you got leave to go to shrift today?" which means "Do you have permission to go to confession?". Shrift, or confession, was the only excuse Juliet could use to get out of the house, and she uses it twice, to get married and to consult with Friar Lawrence.
