Narrative:

On the initial climb out while passing through approximately 1000 ft; we had the amber message 'steering inoperative' come up on the ecias. I was the pilot flying and captain was the pilot monitoring. After climbing through 10;000 ft; capt ran the QRH for steering inoperative in an attempt to remove the message. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to remove the message; he proceeded to the next step which is to turn the nose wheel steering off. We continued on to [the destination]. While enroute; I continued flying the aircraft and working the radios while capt informed the flight attendants about the situation and was coordinating with maintenance and dispatch. As we began our descent capt informed the passengers of the situation and what to expect. Once we switched over to approach; he requested the longest runway. On final approach; I switched over the controls to capt. And then became pilot monitoring. We made a successful landing then came to a complete stop. Once stopped; we attempted to turn the nose wheel steering back on to see if it would work. That was unsuccessful and at that point I notified the tower that we would need a tug to tow us off the runway.
