How long does it take for a broken nose to heal?

Just for a story I'm writing.. Supposed someone gets punched in the nose - how long before it's healed enough so that you don't to wear bandages?

I thought you had to have surgury to fix a broken nose.

usually around 4 weeks if the fracture is undisplaced!
