Narrative:
Upon selection of gear up by the first officer on takeoff; we received both the red warning message 'gear disagree' and also the red warning 'nose door open' message on the primary EICAS display. The gear indications were showing that the main landing gear was up while the nose gear was showing a white hatch. We notified ATC of the problem and ran the QRH procedure. Dispatch was notified and we conferred with maintenance about the problem and concluded that it was safe to continue to destination with the gear in the down position. We talked to dispatch about our fuel and mutually agreed that we had plenty of fuel to safely continue to destination with the gear down. The QRH mentioned the possibility of not having nose wheel steering upon landing; so as a precautionary measure we declared an emergency on the way. We landed without further incident and taxied to the gate as normal.
