Promethazine Dilution by Nursing

For those of you that require dilution of promethazine, especially for those that dilute it in 50mL NS.

Who does the dilution? Pharmacy? Nursing?

We talked about pharmacy diluting the product in a 50mL bag, but with the short BUD and potential influx of 30-50 orders/day, I don't think it's within our logistical reach.
