In Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence and the Nurse are similar in that they both assist Juliet and Romeo in their marriage. They both also act as something of a caretaker to their respective charges: the Friar to Romeo and the Nurse to Juliet. The two are different because the Nurse resides in the same household as Juliet, while the Friar lives a ways away from Romeo. The Friar also has other motives besides the happiness of his charge when he assists Romeo in his marriage. Friar Lawrence hopes that the marriage of Romeo to Juliet will stop the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. The most obvious difference is the gender of themselves and their charges.
These are only a few of the many similarities and differences between Friar Lawrence and the Nurse. Shakespeare has written the two to be some of the most important supportingcharacters in the play.

EDIT:
They are different in behavior and talking. Friar Laurence is wise and old and intelligent. He likes to get to the point without distractions. He also takes things seriously. The Nurse, on the other hand, is outgoing and witty. She avoids explaining things. For example, when Juliet was trying to get informations about her love Romeo, the Nurse avoids telling everything. Asking for Juliet's mother and taking a break from running all around Verona.

How guilty should the Nurse and Friar Lawrence feel at the end of Romeo and Juliet?
This really depends on your own opinion. Personally I believe that they shouldn't feel very guilty as they were only helping Romeo and Juliet with the choices they made. The Nurse even stopped supporting Juliet after Romeo was banished and suggested she should marry Paris, although this did mean Juliet was left alone. Friar Lawrence advised both of them before he married them that it was moving along to fast and he shouldn't feel guilty about Juliet's death since he did arrive in time to save her and he did try to convince her to leave the tomb with him and even if he didn't try very hard, Juliet still made the decision to end her own life.
