Basically, there's no use for nucleus in a platelet cell, and so there isn't one.
Here's a more thorough explanation:
Platelets are cells that don't go through mitosis as fully specialized cells, thus having a nucleus, with the genetic information for duplication, would be unnecessary, and in nature unnecessary things are often gotten rid of. Another reason is the fact that platelets don't synthesize proteins, they contain substances that participate in the clogging of blood, but they don't produce these substances. When more is needed, more platelets are produced in the bone-marrow.

Can a cell survive without the nucleus for a short time?

How red blood cells survive without nucleus?

Do you think a cell would function without a nucleus?
A cell wouldn't survive without a nucleus because that is where the DNA is. If a cell doesn't have genetic material it cannot reproduce properly.

Why is blood platelets important?
Platelets - are the cells that clump together to form clots when we bleed. Without platelets, if you had a cut finger, it would bleed without stopping.
