Recruiter and company won't do anything until I'm clear of this. Unfortunately I didn't chart the conversation with the family.

I received a notice of a formal complaint to BON regarding a Pt. that I was taking care of. They fell 35 - 45 min. into the night shift after I had given report to the oncoming night RN and had left the building. They're saying I left the bed alarm off and caused the fall. The next day I was told about the fall....the night RN said what had happened but then "played it off" saying that the Pt. was fine. Additional thing to note.... - I saw that the Pt.'s family had been turning off their family member's bed alarm off, while they were visiting due to the annoying noise. I educated the family on the dangers of continuing to do so. I never heard anything else until the end of my shift. Then while driving home I got a call from my recruiter saying they were canceling my contract. Never had anything like this happen to me....I'm completely clueless on how to proceed. What's going to happen to me? Am I going to lose my license? According to the letter I got in the mail I have 30 days to submit a written statement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
