I think all the advice above is predicated on having your CG set up properly...so make sure that is dialed in.

Nose gear first is called a porpoise, and can be really nasty. It is always preceded by a stall (unless you flew the plane nose first into the ground).

The goal of all landings is for the plane to quit flying aerdynamically just a few inches off the ground. In most cases this will mean you will be all the way back on power and most or all the way back on elevator (a bit at a time as you flare). Lot's of wind can change things a bit, but not much (in this case you can fly the airplane to the ground and cut the flare short as you will have less ground speed). You can have air flowing over the wings enough to fly and still not have any groundspeed at all. In this case, you might want to land across the runway. ;-)

Keep practicing and you'll be okay.
