I have two Yongnuo RF-603N II transceivers and am considering buying a Yongnuo YN-565EX II flash. If one RF-603N II is on the camera hot shoe, can it trigger the YN-565EX II directly, or do I need to attach the second RF-603N II to the flash as a receiver? Also, can I hold one RF-603N II in my hand and use it as a remote trigger instead of mounting it on the camera?

No. The YN-565EX II does not have a built-in radio receiver, so an RF-603N II on the camera cannot trigger it directly by radio. To fire the flash with RF-603N II units, you need a second RF-603N II attached to the flash as the receiver.
You can use an RF-603N II in your hand and fire it with the test button, but that won’t synchronize properly with the camera shutter for normal shooting unless the camera is also part of the trigger setup.
Also note: the RF-603 series is for manual flash triggering. If you want TTL-capable wireless triggering, you need a different Yongnuo system designed for TTL. As another option, the YN-565EX II can be triggered remotely with optical slave modes (S1/S2) from a pop-up flash or another flash, but that is optical, not radio.

Edited. No. My response was wrong. It can not be trigged by radio. So I'm editing the post.
You need to use a reciver conected to the flash. But if you need the ttl function you need something like the Yongnuo YN622-TX Wireless ETTL.
If you use the 603 you can only use the manual remote mode on the flash.
