Hospital liability or Health system.
That's one of reason why the NP idea didn't take off because the current physician insurance didn't want to take them because it is an unknown quantity.. Honestly no physicians lobbying needed, the support system is non existent to start. Insurance companies are not charities, they look at tangible data points etc. NP is unknown, and no way they would insure someone who are doing the same job as a GP and trained less for cheaper than what they charge a GP.
Not that many nurses want to spend extra years for the OR specialty.. add up the extra years you mind as well have gone to med school in the first place.

I'm sure a simple solution to OR nurses exists, it's a less complex issue than its treated as. A tangible wage premium (the current is $20/month?), priority entrance into nursing school in exchange for x years in a OR, etc.
