Narrative:

Right after take off I called for 'gear up; speed mode' and the nose wheel never retracted. We also received a red 'gear disagree' and 'nose door' master warning messages along with amber 'wow input' and 'nose wheel steering' caution messages. After doing the appropriate checklists we decided to fly a low approach so the nose wheel could be looked at. After that we set up for the ILS to a full stop and landed uneventfully. Prior to taking command of this aircraft the airplane was in maintenance all day; with nose gear problems earlier in the day. Here is the right up from earlier that morning. Item 1: 'ground crew reported fluid leaking from nose gear area during pushback. Nose gear strut is collapsed.' maintenance did corrective action. Item 3: 'maintenance; nose landing gear strut needs service.' so the aircraft was in for maintenance all day and still had a problem with the nose gear. The nose gear was still not properly fixed prior to being signed off and so let to the nose gear not retracting.
