Grades... bad

Hi. Ok, so here it goes. I'm a 22 year old college student who has just moved from wyoming to california. I've been to 3 different colleges since graduation and has just registered at my fourth. I had to move many times, which is why there have been so many. My problem is that when I first started college I did not really know what I wanted to do, I messed around my first 3 semesters. My grades were not bad by any means but then I moved again to wyoming. While I was there I partied and failed out of college, 2 semesters I got pretty much all F's, a couple of D's. I took a year off and now just moved back to california with my family and am enrolling in community college. I really want to be a nurse and understand that I severely messed up. My dilemma is that I have submitted my transcripts from the other two colleges, but not the third with the F's. Should I or shouldn't I? Also, really do I have any chance of getting in if my GPA from before the F's was not really that great anyway. Can I not just start fresh? If getting into nursing school is not an option what about the CNA-LVN-RN route, could that be a path, or am I doomed? I am just looking for a little guidance and hope?

Start from scratch, don't transfer your grades to your new school. I know some schools will just take the highest grade, but it just doesn't look good. I would start over.

This is NOT good advice. Most colleges require ALL college transcripts be sent. If you omit transcripts it can bite you in the behind later.

What moon said. It may seem like an easy way out to pretend that you had never been to school before, but they can check. And intergrity violations are career enders.
