After-hours compounding for non 24/7 pharmacy

For those at hospitals that do not have 24/7 pharmacy coverage, what do your nurses do for new compounded products after hours? For the most part our EHR tells the nurses how to mix IVs if it is something that needs to be compounded. However, there are cases where there is downtime or the mixture is urgent and they are requesting a paper document telling them how to make everything just in case. If anyone else is providing something like this, would you be willing to share? Thank you!
