No - you not done.
You did an alter database open resetlogs - a sure sign to do a shutdown normal, and make a full backup.

It takes just a few keystrokes:
rman target /
shutdown;
startup mount;
backup database;
alter database open;

Configuring RMAN for control file automatic backups would be a good idea. ;)
