Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

I am being "let go" for not passing/ obtaining my registry, which is a certification or test like the nursing boards. Some places allow you to work without it,but it is starting to be where insurances will not pay for exams if the techs in the field do not have it. I was told in Sept 09 that I had until Jan 10 to get it done. Well I passed one part of the test & failed the other one by 5 points. I have asked for an extension, to be put in another department, and even a longer personal time to no aval. Now I am wondering if I could even get unemployment for this reason. The company wants me to resign so that the door can be open for me to come back. Which I can take the test again in 2 months. My supervisor has told me that once I pass, I can come back. But also I am 6 months pregnant, so getting a new job will be tough. What are some options?

Options for what? I am not sure what your legal question is. From your post, you do not qualify for the job (at least at this point) and are being terminated for that reason or given the chance to resign and have a chance to work there later. If you resign, you won't likely get unemployment. Again, what is your specific legal question?
