California recorded 5 nurse deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 3 through August 9, 2026, representing 9% of the national total. All five records were for individuals, while no organizations were listed.
Credentials and Locations
Registered Nurse was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 3 records, or 60% of the state total. Family Nurse Practitioner and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner each accounted for 1 record, or 20%. The credential mix includes both registered nursing and advanced practice nursing classifications.
The five records were distributed across five cities: San Leandro, Redway, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Cerritos, with 1 deactivation in each. This geographic distribution shows no concentration in a single city within the week’s California data, although the records span both larger urban areas and smaller communities.
Registry Context
The deactivations concern administrative NPI registry status changes. They do not by themselves establish that a nurse’s license was affected or that the individual stopped practicing. The weekly figures describe records removed from active registry status, rather than a confirmed change in California’s practicing nurse workforce.
