Nursing Law

I recently had a situation on night shift. I believe the charge nurse allowed a ward clerk with no license to start a foley on a pt with dementia. I am not certain of this because I did not see it. I reported this concern to my house supervisor. What do I do? How do I protect myself?
If you have no proof and did not witness the situation, what did you report? I would be more concerned about making false accusations without evidence.

Comment:
What would you need to protect yourself from? You have no direct knowledge of the situation and you reported your suspicions up the chain of command.

Comment:
Today's reflection:By spreading rumors about my coworkers with no proof and not talking with them directly as my concerns I have:A: Contributed to the advancement of the nursing by conducting myself as a professional, orB: Contributed to the detriment of nursing by inserting myself into a situation where I did not have all of the information I needed to contribute in a professional manner.
