Is nitrogen necessary for breathing?

Nitrogen is an inert gas and is not necessary for breathing. Oxygen on the other hand is quite necessary. Without a sufficient partial pressure of oxygen in your breathing mix, you will become unconscious and if it is low enough, you can even die. For certain types of dives, nitrogen is reduced and sometimes completely removed from the breathing mix due to its narcotic effects at higher partial pressures. Dives have been done with helium and even hydrogen as substitutes for the nitrogen in the breathing mix due to their reduced narcotic effects at higher partial pressures. Not all insert gases work well though. Some are even more narcotic than nitrogen (e.g. argon, xenon).
