I have heard of some schools that allow you to declare "academic bankruptcy" - which erases your prior attempts and allows you to start fresh. I think that Sam Houston does/did this... but it is not the norm. Think about how colleges identify you. They use your SSN in the application process. If you applied for or received any financial aid, you are in 'the system' and your information is discoverable.
PP is correct, your best approach is to be honest. Your situation is not that uncommon.
If you conveniently leave things like previous colleges off your application, that is considered fraud. Don't do that.
after reading everyone's comments i transferred my grades to the new college (i don't think they have received them yet), now I'm scared they will say something. my priorities were not straight my first years in college, and i didn't want that to prevent me from getting into the nursing program.

I want to leave the Community college I currently attend, and start fresh somewhere else. I don't want to transfer my grades, because I have more bad then good. Does the nursing program check to see if you have attended other colleges? Also on the application for the nursing program the application ask have you been on academic suspension I want to be honest, but will this hurt my chances if I answer yes, and be forced to provide a transcript from the college I attended before?
