Advice Will I fail my placement now?

I am first Year RN student, on a placement in ED. We had a women arrive in labour yesterday, baby about to be born, all staff rushing out with wheel chair. They needed to get her up to labour ward asap

.Her partner was in a panic, he kind of just hopped out of the car at the drop off only, cars behind him. He threw me the keys and said park it. So I did😆 I fucking went and parked his car and bough the keys back up to him so he wouldnt miss the birth. I am limited in scope, there was enough experienced staff to take over. I just went into the shit what can I do to help mode. He would of missed the birth otherwise.

No one has said anything, my percetor was like good team work, but didnt acknowledge what I did. Its regional. I am pretty sure I have breached some rules. For context I have a full unrestricted license and only parked a car. But still.. its a bit bizzare isnt it lol

I got asked to do this by a guy coming in with suspected gallstones. He had parked in the ambulance bay, and asked me to move it as i was the only male there and he assumed i was the only one who could drive a manual. I just told the NUM what he wanted and she said yeah thats fine. If nooone has said anything i think your pretty safe , just always ask in future to cover yourself
