California recorded 7 nurse deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 24 through August 30, 2026, representing 11% of the national total. All seven records were individuals, while organizations accounted for 0 deactivations. The update reflects administrative changes in the federal NPI registry and does not by itself establish that a nurse has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credentials
Registered Nurse was the leading retired taxonomy, with 3 records. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Licensed Practical Nurse and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner each appeared once. The credential mix therefore spans bedside nursing, advanced practice, anesthesia and mental health roles, but the small number of records limits what can be inferred about broader workforce patterns.
City Distribution
San Francisco had 2 deactivations, the highest city count. Vallejo, Sacramento, Stockton and Taft each had one. The listed locations show a distribution across several California cities rather than a concentration in a single location, although San Francisco was the only city with more than one record. The registry data does not establish whether these changes represent retirements, moves, duplicate administrative records or other status updates.
California’s weekly nurse deactivations were entirely individual records, with registered nurses forming the largest credential group and activity spread across the listed cities.
