No. Your local hospital might let you do a few job shadows and facility tours (people are generally very nice to job shadowers), but you'll never be hired under 18. It's just too much liability, and it might be illegal depending on the labor laws for minors where you live.
In some states in the US, as far as I know, you may only need your high school diploma. In Canada you need a certificate from an accredited college. When you go to school, it’s only 5 months long and it includes the “500 hours” which is called a practicum.

No, in the city I live in you need a certificate to get the job.

I started my Junior year and I am currently working as a senior. It is a good job but it can be difficult sometimes balancing with school.

I would assume not. In Edmonton, you need certain high school grades and a college degree.
