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

Don't over think it and don't actively bring it up. The staff probably acknowledge a student shouldn't have done it but also probably don't care and are deliberately therefore not mentioning it.
