Narrative:
Nose landing gear did not extend during landing. After a go around was accomplished the first officer completed the QRH for gear disagree. This did not fix the problem. We stated our intentions to do a low pass of the tower so a visual check could be done. The tower verified our nose landing gear was not extended. After delaying vectors to prepare for the approach and coordinate with the flight attendants; we completed a landing with only the main landing gear extended. All passengers deplaned via the main cabin door with no injuries. Things were happening very quickly and we didn't have much fuel to play around with; but we did our best to get everyone on the ground safe and sound.
