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 does shrift mean in romeo and Juliet?
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")
What is the nurse's advice to Juliet and how does Juliet's opinion of the nurse change as a result?
The nurse tells Juliet to "get on with her life" so -to-say. The nurse recommended that Juliet get married to Paris since Romeo had been banished from Verona, and that Juliet would never see him again, so she should move on and forget about him. Juliet's opinion of the nurse changed because she thought that the nurse was on her side, and wanted Juliet to be with romeo, so she felt somewhat "betrayed" when the nurse said this. By saying that it is alright to marry Paris, the nurse is saying that Juliet is not really married to Romeo, that their wedding was a sham and their wedding night a roll in the hay. To Juliet, who considers herself to be Romeo's wife, this is an outrage.
