I disagree with dayzdone2, it's not normal for your nose to bleed 6 months to a year afterwards.

Initial Nasal Examination after Nasal Fracture is Important
Every fractured nose should be assessed by a physician familiar with treatment of nasal injuries.

Bleeding can be substantial and may not stop spontaneously. Nasal bleeding can also reoccur, sometimes even days after the initial injury. Nasal examination should be performed of both the outside and the inside of the nose. Sometimes, blood collection underneath the lining of the nasal septum (a.k.a. septal hematoma) need to be identified and treated quickly.

My Sister broke my nose for me and it did bleed occasionally while it was healing and for about 6 months to a year afterwards.
