I have ran into this before and it can be done but you need a bit of luck because it does not always work. First, you need to find a location that is very close to where the nest is now. It would help to know if the babies have been born yet however I am going to assume they are as most nests have babies in them currently, my tree out front has a doves nest with a couple babies. Before moving the nest put on some clean gloves to mask the human smell. Then move the nest to it's new location as fast as possible and then leave the area immediately. I give it a 50/50 chance of working but I have had success doing this with a robin nest before, good luck.
