Order for a scan was put in Thursday after hours so we saw it Friday morning. It's for a scan we don't do terribly often so I called our pharmacy to see if we could get the isotope. They can't get it until Monday at the earliest, which means that's the earliest we can even start the scan.
So I called the floor, spoke to the nurse, informing her of the above and thought all was well. Heh. I really should know better by now. Found out today the floor reported us for not starting the scan for 3 days. And I got to explain to three supervisors why we couldn't start a scan for which we couldn't get the isotope. Nurse drops the ball and somehow it's my fault.
Fortunately we're not in any trouble for it since obviously we had no control over it, but it still pisses me off.
