To tell my work friend she messed up?

I have just started a healthcare job after 3 years of training. My friend at work is in the same position.

She handed over to a colleague for the day shift. It has been found that she has got something wrong.

Not something catastrophic or that's harmed anyone, but has been pretty off in her interpretation of something.

I have overheard our colleague telling our boss about this. She will know doubt be spoken to about this, but she now has 2 weeks off so won't know until she's back in.

Should I give her a heads up? I feel bad that I know, and that I could've warned her. I don't want her to be blindsided, which she will be if I don't say anything.

But equally, is it my place? And I don't want to ruin her annual leave, as I know she will stress about this.

Just want to do right by by friend.

100% you should tell your friend if you believe it will help her, that’s what friends are for. But tbh if it’s not something she’ll get into major trouble for (where she might have to have some sort of good excuse/reason prepared) then personally I’d rather not be told as I’d have two weeks of anxiety waiting to be pulled

Tell her a day or so before she returns.
