In Act II, Scene IV, of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is out joking with his friends when Nurse comes to speak to him. Juliet has sent her with a message, but Nurse is protective of Juliet and wants to make sure that Romeo is true to her. She is relieved when he says that he has no intentions to make a fool of Juliet, and she promises to share this with Juliet. Essentially, Nurse is giving her blessing to their relationship. Romeo goes on to ask Nurse to send Juliet to confession with Friar Laurence that afternoon, where the two young lovers may be married. He also instructs Nurse to wait nearby so that Romeo's servant may give her a rope-ladder. The rope-ladder is for Juliet to hang out of her window so that, in the dark of night, Romeo can sneak into her room for the consummation of their marriage.
