Narrative:

[We] lost all hydraulic fluid on the #2 side during descent. Ran appropriate checklists for low hydraulic quantity and associated master cautions including an alternate gear extension. On landing; we had no nose wheel steering as the checklist specified and thus we attempted to use differential braking and power to turn aircraft off of runway. It was quickly obvious that this was not a safe course of action and [we] stopped short of clearing runway. A tug met the plane and we were tugged to the gate.
