incident happened yesterday at work- vets

So I work at a veterinary practice as a veterinary assistant, and on Tuesday I was asked to deep clean a room at work as there was a patient that had bruella, so I got gowned up with mask and gloves etc, cleaning the whole room firstly with detergent and then 30 minutes later with disinfectant.

I then once everything was wiped, I then released a bomb in the room (airgene aersoal disinfectant).

There was a small stitch up kit in the room as well, normally if there's a kit in an infectious case we soak them in this blue disinfectant which I didn't have with me as I didn't know there was a kit until I went in and the stuff was in theatre.

I made sure to wiped the instruments in the kit and was still in the room once it was bombed, I was thinking about taking it to be soaked but then I thought then it might not be ideal as then I'm risking touching areas/ handles etc and getting them infected.

So yesterday when I came into work, Jen one of the sterling technicians closed of sterilising as a bruella risk as someone, I'm assuming one of the students left the stitch up kit on the side just with a note saying bruella.
So then Jen decided to deep clean sterilising as a precaution.

I kind of feel like it was sort of my fault in a way that she had to close and deep clean sterilising, since I deep cleaned that room and left the kit in there.

I told her that and she said that I did all I was supposed to do. And she also mentioned that my boss said to Jen that she was overacting a bit wanting to deep clean sterilising.

I mean I don't know... I feel like I did everything I could. I don't feel like I could have taken it to sterilising with out infecting something... or maybe I could've I don't know.
Basically, do you think this situation sounded like my fault?

Sorry if I'm misreading here, but it sounds like no patients were at risk, no people were at risk, and no one is upset with you?
It is a minor mistake, one that you have owned up to and that didn't put anyone at risk, so I think you need to forgive yourself for this.
Jen's time was slightly wasted, but she doesn't seem to mind. You can now learn from this and you'll never make this mistake again! Do you think you could've done anything better? It doesn't sound like it. Maybe in future if you're not sure what to do with the kit then ask, but it was a very very minor mistake and you should learn from it and forget it.
Vet Med sometimes provides us with bigger mistakes, so it's important to let the little things go so that we can emotionally handle the big thing when they come.

I mean I feel like I clean the iit the best as I could with wiping it etc.
But since the student brought the kit to sterilising with just a note saying "bruella" do Jen deep cleaned sterilising not knowing what happened with the kit and if it was still contaminated.
I just felt like it was slightly my fault since I deep cleaned the room and obviously the kit was in there and people know I cleaned that area.
So I just fely responsible that she had to close of sterilising in order to deep clean, I mean I know she said that I did all I was supposed to and all that, but I don't know she might have just said that.
Like maybe I should have taken off my contaminated gloves, wore new ones and took the kit down in one hand so one hand wasn't contaminated.
I know I owned up, but it's just my boss has been on at my recently, watching me constantly and having meetings. Sometimes she brings up stupid things like I've cleaned an area that someone else has cleaned.
So I just don't want this to be another thing she brings up.

Hi there
This is the second time you have been worried about your performance at a veterinary practice.
From reading your description you did a very thorough job of disinfection and, in my opinion, this would be adequate given where I work has treated several confirmed brucella cases with barrier nursing etc. and I have personally had similar disinfection protocols after dissections - university setting (maybe not even as rigorous as you were!). If someone is not happy with your work then take that feedback politely, but take it with a pinch of salt as you did a more than adequate job.
There is a big problem with resilience in the veterinary profession and feeling that you need to be perfect all the time. I am a qualified vet and I've made plenty of mistakes. Training and working within the veterinary profession is full of both positive and negative feedback. Learning to take feedback constructively is really important and if I had a student reacting this way when I was teaching them or trying to constructively improve their professionalism, I would be concerned for their wellbeing in this profession going forwards.
Taking feedback and not letting it get to you is a skill, one I am still developing myself, but I really think you need to practice not letting these very small things get to you. How will you react when something really big does happen? How will you cope when an animal dies? When an owner complains? When a case deteriorates? Even when its out of your control.
My two rules with taking feedback that I have developed over years are as follows:
1.Who is giving you the feedback? Is it someone you respect and trust to have your best interests at heart? Is it someone who actually understands and knows what they are talking about? For example, a member of the public might not understand how a disease works so might be angry at you about an outcome when you have no control and they are actually upset at the outcome and not you personally. Grief can cause a lot of misplaced emotion.
If the answer is the feedback is coming from someone who knows and understands the situation, who you respect and want to emulate as a professional and who you know is trying to help you I move on to step 2. If the answer is the feedback is coming from someone who doesn't understand the situation, who you don't think acts like a professional you want to replicate and who is not being helpful or has your best interests at heart then I politely listen but won't take the feedback as seriously.
2.Reflection. So you have received some feedback about your performance from someone you know is trying to help you, who truly understands the situation and who you respect as a professional. Now, logically you think through if you think the feedback is justified....or not justified. Be kind to yourself, were you taught the protocol or not that you are being criticised on, you said yourself you didn't know where the materials were kept (no one showed you). If you weigh up why a situation happened, if you logically are responsible or if it was out of your control then often you find it might not be your fault.
With feedback it is important to be kind to yourself, sometimes it can feel like people constantly give negative criticism and that is exhausting. But change your mindset about negative feedback and take it as someone caring about you.
I know if I was talking to a colleague or veterinary student (I often teach the final years) about their performance, it would never be from a point of annoyance. It would be because I want to protect them from the consequences that I myself might have experienced. E.g. I had a student who made a comment that I know if a client had heard would cause a complaint. Making them aware of this so that they don't have that happen to them is a kindness its not to be mean and picky. It means I don't want them to go through a client complaint for a situation which I can predict with experience and warn them about.
