I had my nose broken in my first ever serious sparring session, I have a big hard boney nose not a soft one. But what it did to me was actually make me determined not to be hit on my nose again!! So it improved my boxing more than any reluctant, anxious sparring could ever do. I made sure to move my head from side-to-side when I was closing in, and I made sure that I was fucking my opponent up so bad that he wouldn't have the chance to crack me on the nose! That's what it did to me, it was the best thing that could of happened to me.

Also, once you break your nose once, you physically cannot break it again! So once you get that first nose break out of the way, it doesn't get broken again and you don't ever feel it as bad as the first time you got cracked on the bridge of it. My nose would bleed all the time, I had fights stopped on nose bleeds, but I never felt the kind of pain that I felt when I had my nose busted in that first ever sparring session I had - I went on to get hit MUCH harder on the nose than the time I had it broken but it didn't feel as bad.

Stop being a wuss and get that fucking nose broken get it out the way.
