Narrative:

Shortly after departure; during landing gear retraction; we received an aural and visual warning gear disagree message. It appeared that the nose landing gear did not retract as per normal cycle. We completed the appropriate QRH checklist which directed us to land at the nearest suitable airport. We advised dispatch that we were returning for landing and needed performance information. We advised ATC of our situation to return and later declared an emergency prior to a precautionary and successful overweight landing. Discrepancies were recorded in the aircraft maintenance flight log.
