Best Answer

"In cell Biology, the nucleus (pl. nuclei; from Latin nucleus or nuculeus, meaning kernel) is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells." - Wikipedia article: "Nucleus (cell)"

So yes, a nucleus is an organelle. Although my textbook doesn't really seem to consider the nucleus as an organelle, it treats it like its something separate... but it makes more sense that its considered an organelle.
