Feeling like I messed up

Hi everyone!! i am a recently licensed social worker in the emergency department of a hospital. I’m feeling really anxious recently about something that happened at work. I had a patient’s family request resources prior to discharge near the end of the work day prior to the weekend. I printed out and compiled the resources, however, it was past my time to leave and I running late, and nursing was in the room with patient and family and I couldn’t stop in there. I provided to the resources to the charge RN and requested that he stop in there to provide the resources to the patient and the family - he said he would. Now, as I think about it over the weekend, I feel super nervous as I documented “SW provided resources” when I feel like I should have said “SW provided resources to charge RN to give to patient.” I don’t know if I am feeling super anxious over nothing and have just been stewing over it this weekend, or what I can do differently. Any advice would be helpful!
