Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Whistleblower??

I was employeed until today as a medical assistant. Recently ( last week) I contacted the Radiology Board regarding radiation badges. The inspector came out to the Office where I work. During the conversation he told me that I was as risk for being fined if I continued to take xrays ( I am unlicenced). I informed my employer of this, and the very next day I was let go. During the 6 months I was there, I had no disiplinary actions ( verbal or written). I understand that FL is a right to work state. I am wondering if this sounds like unlawful termanation secondary to the Whistle blower law?
