Hi and welcome to the forum. Yes, that's right, you can say either, and they mean different things. A good example of the difference between ser and estar.
An adjective like nervioso would also be used frequently with ponerse, for instance
Me pongo nervioso hacerlo, It makes me nervous to do it.

So... you can say "es nervioso"? - lydianish1, Jan 25, 2012
You can, as explained by stabec. Es nervioso, he is a nervous sort of person. Estar nervioso, he is nervous at a particular moment. - Jeremias, Jan 25, 2012
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I'll fix that. - Jeremias, Jan 25, 2012
