zosyn+vancomycin infusing together

at 4mg/mL vancomycin appears y site compatible with zosyn-does anyone infuse both routinely as zosyn is 4 hr infusion? will this practice affect vancomycin blood level validity? promoting concurrent administration can optimize rn practice workflow as it's tough to stagger both esp if vanco also q8hrs...any thoughts appreciated.
