I need some advice with my clinicals!

Ok, so here goes nothing...

I'm walking into my the school and my lecture teacher stops me and says I need to talk to you, and I'm thinking did I do something wrong....Hopefully not!

So apparently my clinical instructor had called my lecture teacher (who is also the course coordinator) about my performance in clinical. All this time I thought I was doing good, and apparently my instructor thinks I'm having others do the work for me, while I stand there and watch...THIS IS NOT TRUE AT ALL! This is the first clinical my instructor has ever taught. But some people in my clinical are going to our instructor saying so. She said she feels like I need to take more initiative and seek out new things. There isn't much I can do on a spinal-cord rehab floor as a first semester student. I mean I was paired out with someone last friday, but apparently I'm letting them do all the work? Let's see...I fed my patient, washed her face, brushed her teeth, put her partial dentures in, did her vitals.. the person I was paired with only helped me get her dressed and put into her chair. I mean what more can I do? I forgot to mention I changed her bed. She also said I should talk to my patients and get to know them better, problem is I had a patient who was very non verbal for 2 weeks...I would talk to them and the one wouldn't talk at all, and the other one just didn't want to say much because of how much pain they were in. I tried talking to them, but all the did was say "uh-huh, yeah I feel better." I'm not sure how I can go about this...I mean there is time to step up more to the game, my clinicals end on december 6th...but any advice here? Has anyone had anyone tell you need to take more initiative?

I am going to talk to my instructor on Thursday about it(that is the next day I have Clinicals) But she said as long as I do the stuff we go over, I'll be fine...

Ugh, so frustrated!

And am I overthinking this?
