   Chris it seems the prudent thing to do would be to requeen the hive
with the queen from the nuc and place the frame with queen cells in the
nuc.let the queens hatch out and mate.the queen which is left can then
be evaluated.if the requeening didn't take then you will still have
another queen for your hive.
