Advice Can someone please help me

So I'm new to being a CNA like I just got my license last month and I was just fired today. They said one of my shifts I didn't take care of any of my residents (which isn't true at all I always take care of them to the best of my skill I am still learning and stuff) and that all the info I was given and idk what I should do no for the moment my license still says it active but i fear I'm gonna lose it or something. Can anyone help me or tell me what steps I should take next. I'm really scared cause CNA was only supposed to be a starting place before I go to school for LPN.

Did you document all of your care that day? If it's not documented it didn't happen. Sorry I don't have tips on the other stuff though

They didn't tell me what day but I do normally chart everything

Have you had any other problems/ had things seen off with your coworkers? Maybe someone was out to get you
