    YES YES and YES. You need a diploma and also need to go to college! People don't want someone who is uneducated taking care of them. :(

    Yes, you do. Actually, you need a high school diploma to be anything in the medical field. It is the minimum educational requirement.

    To be a RN you have to go to university, and in order to go to university you have to graduate high school! That's just common sense.

    You won't just need a high school diploma, but a few years in college as well.

    No, you do not necessarily need a high school diploma, but you will need a GED.

    There are quite a few students in my RN class that have their GED versus their diploma and they are doing as well, some even better, than those of us with our diplomas.

    Yes you do. A GED certificate would suffice though.
