No, I don't think so. The Basilisk could have been everywhere, it was bad luck, that it was in the library. She could have told somebody about hr suspicion, and it was typically Hermione, that she went to the library first, but I don't think it was particularly rash or dangerous. In contrast, at least she managed to safe herself and Penelope Clearwater by using the mirror. Colin and Justin were saved by pure luck and coincidence, Hermione used her brain to save herself and another student.
