On the whole, unless an Anglican is of the Catholic tradition in the Anglican Church (ie, they are catholic to all intents and purposes except they reject the authority of the pope), then Anglicans do not go to confession.

That does not mean that they do not confess their sins! At almost every Anglican service there is an act of confession and absolution, and Anglicans take sin just as seriously as Catholics. However, the vast majority of Anglicans do not see the need to confess to a priest as an intermediary, but confess directly to God, as per the early Church practices and reject entirely the Catholic tradition of 'having' to go to confession on, say, a weekly basis. Instead they confess their sins when they need to, directly to God, whether as part of a service or not.

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.
