You have hub bearings on the front. Is it making noise? If it is, I would recommend repairs before driving that far.

How loose? Usually loose means worn or the nut is not seated. And this should be accompanied by a low hum or growling noise while driving that goes away when you make a turn in the direction that relieves pressure on bearing.

You could get a second opinion there is no noise.
