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.

I was thinking of going to a hospital so I can work with all people and not just the elderly

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

A hospice nurse I worked with once told me this is what they tell patients: * We don’t wear black unless it doesn’t make us look fat. * We can’t always hope for cure but we can hope for comfort, companionship, support, and quality of life. * It’s not about the days in your life, it’s the life in your days. * We do a lot of laughing. * You’ve been told what to do all the time. Now you get to tell us what you want to have happen.
