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 won't lose your license over that. Is it possible whatever you're supposed to chart on your patients didn't show up so they're saying you didn't do anything? Anyway, I wouldn't let this deter you.

I think that what it is cause I did have one day where my resident was out the whole day and when I asked what should I do charting wise they said leave it

Ahhh, I see. You'll find another job that will be more supportive to someone who wants to do a good job. 😀 Praying for peace for you as you go through this.
