Speaking as an EMT, only do this if you want to add nausea to your list of symptoms. You don't stop blood flow, you only redirect it. Then all the blood you just inadvertantly swallowed makes you sick. Pinch it and see a doctor ASAP.

(edit - frequent nosebleeds are sometimes signs of a bigger problem, such as high blood pressure. Especially if you don't stop bleeding after a while)
