Same problem here.  Some of the problem alleviated with power PICC, but still a very big problem.  They just do not understand that the Infusion Nurses cannot make a vein materialize on some patients.  Very frustrating!

In our hospital we are getting the same requests. We have no choice but to place a line when possible. As we all know there are some pts for whom we can not do this. So far we have not been able to open a constructive dialogue with radiolog about this issue.
