A '''Diploma in Nursing''' or '''Nursing Diploma''' is an entry-level [[tertiary education]] [[nursing]] credential.
In the [[United States]], this diploma is usually awarded by [[hospital]]-based [[nursing school]]s. Students awarded a Diploma in Nursing are qualified to take the [[NCLEX-RN]] exam and apply for [[licensure]] as a [[Registered Nurse]].<ref>{{citation|author=RN|title=Becoming a Registered Nurse|url=http://
At one time, all [[nurse]]s in the United States were diploma-prepared. The [[Cherry Ames]] series of children's books was created to encourage girls to go into the nursing profession during [[World War II]]. She was a "hospital diploma" nurse.
