When you have bleeding nose, lean your head forward, pinch your nostrils and push up slightly. DO NOT lean your head back - the blood goes into your stomach which is a Very Bad Thing.
As for the bleeding, it's actually not uncommon. If you've been blowing your nose a lot and live anywhere remotely dry (indoors or out), you've probably just dried out and irritated the inside of your nose enough that it's burst a small wall. I do that every now and then (like, you know, wednesday). Saline nasal sprays might help, as well as something like SinuCleanse or another irrigator. And a humidifier.
But, since this is the first time it's happened to you, go to the clinic and don't leave until they have a look. Just in case it's something more going on with your sinuses.
