AFAIK the OR nurses and even NP programs are post grad. I don't think there is need for priority entrance, as there are already a pool of qualified grads. The issue is most grads rather work and live life rather than go through another 2 years + practicum and schooling. If you offering priority it will be akin to offering priority entry to undergrad for medical school, even if you don't know the candidate will make it through first year undergrad. (IB grad to second year UCal Med program is the rare exception).
Besides, healthcare management similar post grad program is way cushier and less stressful not to mention you get to boss MDs around and get paid more than them to do it.

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.
