California recorded 7 nurse deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 31 through September 6, 2026, representing 9% of the national total. The records include 6 individuals and 1 organization. NPI deactivation is an administrative status change and does not, by itself, indicate a license action or confirm that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials
Nurse Practitioner was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 2 records. Community Health Registered Nurse, Home Health Registered Nurse, Registered Nurse and Psychiatric/Mental Health Registered Nurse each accounted for 1 record. An additional deactivated individual was classified as an Adult Psychiatric/Mental Health Registered Nurse, while the organization carried the Nurse Practitioner taxonomy. The credential mix spans primary care, community and home health, registered nursing and behavioral health roles, but the small number of records does not establish a broader workforce trend.
Geographic Distribution
The listed cities were Palm Springs, Commerce, Sacramento, San Bernardino, Ventura, San Diego and Los Angeles. Palm Springs, Commerce, Sacramento, San Bernardino and Ventura each had 1 deactivation, while San Diego and Los Angeles also each had 1. This distribution shows no single-city concentration in the weekly records and instead reflects activity across multiple California markets. The city field identifies the location associated with each NPI record, not necessarily a practice site or current service area.
The weekly snapshot describes registry status changes across California’s nursing-related records, not confirmed changes in the state’s practicing nurse workforce.
