Paralyzing Agents

we are pediatric hospital, and sometimes we get patients who require intermittent doses of paralyzing agents. Do you store powder vials in Omnicell for a nurse to retrieve it and reconstitute and administer on the floor? Do you make them in the pharmacy and send them to the floor?
Also, for neonates, it has short stability data. Would you send vials from pharmacy to the floor, for nurses to reconstitute and administer?

Thank you!
