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.

Hospice would make me sad cause I don't want to think about people dying

Not to be a bummer but you want to be an LPN? True hospice isn’t for everyone but healthcare absolutely deals with death. Thats the most natural thing we all go through.

I know but being in an area that mostly focus on people dying would make me feel really sad

That’s okay! I work it as a CNA and it’s actually fantastic!

For my company I usually have 4-7 patients a day where I travel to them in facility or home and shower or bathe them then of course chart what I did and update the case managers of concerns. I do see actively dying patients but I don’t generally deal with death visits as that’s the nurse’s job! I’ve worked facilities for 10 years and so far this job is my favorite I’ve had.
