I just took the CLC course with Karin Cadwell & Cindy Maffei.  They were VERY 
adamant that nobody should be suggesting domperidone or prescribing it in 
the US (I'm sure this is a controversial topic, but I am just passing on what 
they taught).  The FDA is apparently cracking down pretty hard on it, and 
considers it a potentially dangerous drug (and in my medical opinion, it 
shouldn't be suggested to anyone lightly).  Compounding pharmacies have 
received serious warnings against distributing it.  As an RN presumably without 
prescribing privileges, you would be outside your scope of practice.  Even if 
you verbally suggest or recommend a medication or even an herbal (e.g. 
fenugreek) without writing a physical prescription, a court or licensing board 
could find that you were "prescribing" via that recommendation.  Tread 
cautiously!
