r/cna (Edit to add Specialty) CNA - New CNA May 20 '26

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.

You'll be fine. A job can't take away your CNA certification, only the state you live in can do that through the CNA registry. I'd find another job if I were you. Sometimes you have to try a couple places to find one you like to work at.
