Trying to transfer to another RN program with an undeserved Fail

So, I was in an ADN program (2 years at a CC) and failed a class due to unfair treatment. Professor singled me out and clearly had favorites. I ended up failing still and didn't want to go down without a fight. I tried everything to appeal and it didn't work. This was the worse experience that I have ever been through and because of this fail, my record is now tarnished. Thing is...my prereqs are from ANOTHER CC (NOT from the CC of my nursing program), so if I reapply to other schools and NOT send in my transcripts from the CC I went to nursing school for, would the possible-future-programs find out about my history in another program? Another issue is that some applications asks, "Have you previously attended a nursing program?" I realized how competitive it is now to get in another program and showing my fail would hinder my acceptance.

I also read other posts here and someone posted that "basically you can't tell" and another posts where someone responded with "dont ask dont tell," but what do I put down if the application is asking for previous attendance in another program?

    I've worked in higher education for nearly 3 decades, and have encountered a variety of student issues in these times. This includes cases of academic failure, dishonesty, mental heath issues, etc. While I cannot speak for every university and every professor, the "blame others" game does not work with me.

    When approached by students for admissions after an unfavorable incident, readmission, re-entry from a personal/medical/emotional leave of absence, etc., I look for the following.

    Question 1: Own the past. Whatever happened, you were a party to it. Does the student accept this?

    Question 2: What did the student learn from the absence, sanction, or break?

    Question 3: What has the student done to ensure that an incident will not happen again? Does the student recognize any warning signs? Is there a support network?

    Question 4: Am I confident that the students will not put others (peers, clients, patients) at risk? This is especially important in the health professions. It is not that I am 'pro-student' or 'anti-student'; but I have to be 'pro-patient' now that I work with Nursing students.
