I'm curious about my gpa , is a 3.7 gpa good enough to be considered for a program? In addition , a high Kaplan entrance exam score ( I have not took the exam yet.)

Depends on the program and how they judge admissions. For example, many programs weigh science GPA and/or prerequisite GPA more heavily than overall GPA. Your first step towards understanding how you measure up is contacting admissions departments and finding out how they place weight on different factors. You may find that some schools give points for nongpa factors, as well, such as a second language, volunteer experience, and so on. And some that don't.
The school I'm trying to get into is competitive only, they only look at gpa and the Kaplan score. They don't look at the cumulative gpa, only the prerequisites for nursing gpa. I take the test this fall I'm beyond nervous..
