The sacrament of confession in Catholic usage was called "shriving". To shrive is to give absolution in confession. Romeo tells the nurse that when Juliet comes to confession she will be "shrived and married". "Shrift" is the act of shriving in the same way that "theft" is the act of theiving, "belief" is the act of believing, and "thrift" was once the act of thriving, or "drift" the act of driving. ("I get your drift" still means the same as "I get what you are driving at")

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.
