Infuse over time

I just joined a new institution and a lot of the intermittent medications do not require an "infuse over" time as part of the order (even antibiotics). The nurse looks up what is allowed and uses that as a guide.

I was under the impression (possibly wrong) that this was required. Does anyone have any literature, opinions or descriptions of how you operate?

Thanks,
Randi
