You will need a new nut.

If the bridge is angled and not flat, (excepting individual string adjustments) you'll need to swap it or you won't get good intonation. You'll need a new nut as well.

Christopher Parkening recommends that if you're just starting out, learn on a "right-handed" guitar. There are equally technical demands on each hand when playing guitar. There's just more choice for "right-handed" guitars out there.
