The best bet is to think YES! You're going to need to get that GED to get the classes to be certified. Most schools won't touch you with a 10 foot pole if they know you haven't graduated.
Would you want someone who didn't graduate HS working as a nursing assistant? No.

There is a place in Gainesville, FL that you don't need a GED or High School Diploma. It costs $400 for a 2 week program and you work right away cuz they train you right at the place where you'll be working.

I found two sites that state clearly that you do need those two things in order to take the classes. Maybe it depends on each state.
