A few thousand hands really isn't enough to judge whether you are a winner or loser at either stake. I personally think you need to play at least 50k hands before you can have any degree of confidence in whether you are beating a level (and realistically a lot more) and be looking for a win rate of at least 3bb/100 before moving up over a decent sample (and preferably a lot higher at the nanos). As you move up the stakes, there are winning players that can have 100k hands of breakeven/loss quite easily as the skill edges become much thinner.
Do you need to prove that you can beat 2nl before you can play 5nl? Of course not, as long as you have enough bankroll for it (20BI+), can easily afford to reload if you go broke and not care if you lose $100. If you do go broke though, I'd recommend starting again at 2nl as the chances are you are a losing player at 5nl.
