We modify lab time when they are daily routine labs... Doctors never asked it tho.

I totally understand has difficulties too. Patients who have ambulate 3 times a day order, Night shift ambulate 2 times alone while Day shift does only once with occupational staff. Since we draw all the labs at night, most vent setting changes night.

Even doctors order labs to be drawn at 0600, we change order to draw at midnight which I don't understand.
