New York recorded 8 nurse deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Sept. 14–20, 2026, accounting for 16% of the national total. All 8 were individuals; 0 organizations were listed. A deactivation is an administrative registry status change and does not, by itself, indicate a licensing action or confirm that a nurse has stopped practicing. The figures describe registry records, not changes in staffing or patient access.
Credentials and Cities
Registered nurses were the largest credential group, with 3 records, followed by nurse practitioners, with 2. Adult health nurse practitioner, family nurse practitioner and licensed practical nurse credentials each appeared once. The city summary lists Charlton, Malverne, the Bronx, Tonawanda and Gloversville with one deactivation apiece. Those tied counts show no concentration among the listed leading cities, although the summary does not provide a broader measure of geographic distribution. The credential categories identify the taxonomy attached to each record; they do not establish the individuals’ current employment or clinical activity.
Registry Context
The week’s records were all individual deactivations, with no organization records reported. CMS generally removes names, addresses and taxonomies from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains a name cache drawn from public CMS files captured before deactivation. The totals and category breakdown should therefore be read as a snapshot of registry status for the reporting week, rather than as a direct measure of New York’s practicing nursing workforce. They provide a limited view of administrative changes in the NPI system, not evidence of a change in care availability.
