Yes but the nest likes to see the power come from Rc and C (the air handler transformer).

If you connect power to Rh also coming from the boiler transformer it will confuse the nest and it wont work.

So there is a workaround that requires a relay be installed with the 24v AC coil connected to the Rh and W from the nest. Then the wires on the boiler R and W go to the normally open contacts of the relay.

When Nest asks for heat the coil energizes with 24v and the contacts close hence connecting R and W on the boiler which turns it on.

If you search youtube for relay on nest ,you will find some videos about it.
