THE STUDENT PLT WAS MAKING A LANDING AT THE SECOND ARPT OF A X-COUNTRY FLT WHEN A CONTROLLER IN THE TOWER OBSERVED THE ACFT BOUNCE AND SPOTTED THE NOSE GEAR LYING ON THE RWY. AN ELT SIGNAL WAS ALSO RECEIVED AT THAT TIME. THE STUDENT PLT MADE A GO-AROUND AND THEN A LOW PASS SO CFR PERSONNEL COULD CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. THE PLT WAS ADVISED TO MAKE A SOFT FLD LANDING AND SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN PRIOR TO LOWERING THE NOSE. THE PLT ATTEMPTED A LANDING BUT PERFORMED A GO-AROUND. THE NEXT LANDING WAS SUCCESSFUL BUT THE ACFT VEERED OFF THE SIDE OF THE RWY.
