1400 is a great day for me - I've been doing this for over 20 years. I don't believe these people who say they do 2000 lines in an 8 hour shift. Unless they have the same client who says the same thing over and over or do radiology, I just don't believe it is possible in acute care. Maybe they do clinic work.
