Need Advice

I'm in my senior year of nursing and every year in clinicals my instructors tell me how quiet I am. I know I'm quiet, but I feel like I can do a good job. Even though I don't talk constantly when I'm in my patient's room doesn't mean I'll make a terrible nurse, does it? Sometimes it feels like that and I don't want to continue nursing school. However, I really do want to be a nurse someday! My problem is getting really nervous whenever my instructor is watching me. Also, this past week I had a patient who was quiet too, so it made it even harder when I tried to start a conversation. I've really been working on confidence ever since I started the nursing program and I am getting better. I just needed to vent for a little bit. My instructors make me question my abilities because I'm not a loud and outgoing person. I know I am able to communicate when I need to and be confident, but how do I show this to my instructors? Is it impossible to be a nurse if you're quiet?

Dont worry about it. Your patient couldnt care less if they're intubated and sedated in the ICU. Finish school and move on from your critique heavy instructors. You're gonna have to deal with potential peers coming up afterwards.
