Vincristine Dispensing

Our institution is evaluating the ISMP Targeted Best Practice of dispensing vincristine in a mini-bag to avoid intrathecal administration. Nursing is finding the change hard to accept. Are there any institutions out there that have made this change and how did you go about the change?
