Arizona recorded 6 nurse deactivations in this week’s NPI registry update, representing 8% of the national total. The records include 5 individuals and 1 organization. The update reflects administrative changes in the federal NPPES registry and does not, by itself, establish that a nurse or organization has stopped practicing, lost a license or left the workforce.
Credentials
Registered Nurse was the most common retired taxonomy, with 2 records, or 33% of Arizona’s total. School Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner each accounted for 1 record, or 17%. The mix spans nursing roles from direct-care and school nursing to advanced practice, but the small number of records limits broader conclusions about workforce composition.
City Distribution
Tucson had 2 deactivations, while Teec Nos Pos, Tuba City, Scottsdale and Phoenix each had 1. The geographic distribution therefore shows a modest Tucson concentration, with the remaining records spread across four other Arizona cities. It does not indicate a single statewide location driving the week’s activity. The records were dated during the weekly reporting period, with five deactivations on September 3 and one on September 4.
Arizona’s weekly NPI data show a small, mostly individual set of administrative deactivations across varied nursing taxonomies and locations, rather than a complete measure of active provider supply.
