Ohio recorded 6 nurse deactivations during the week of Sept. 7-13, accounting for 8% of the national total reported in the update. All six records were individuals; no organizations were listed. An NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal NPPES registry and does not, by itself, establish that a nurse stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credentials
Registered nurses were the largest credential group, with 3 records, or 50% of Ohio’s total. Licensed practical nurses accounted for 2 records, or 33%, while certified registered nurse anesthetists accounted for 1, or 17%. The credential distribution spans three nursing classifications, with registered nurses representing the largest group but not an overwhelming majority of the week’s records.
Geographic Spread
The top listed cities were Kettering, Cleveland, Toledo, Mansfield and Warsaw, with 1 deactivation each. Springfield also appeared in the provider records with 1 deactivation. Because each listed city contributed one record, the activity was dispersed rather than concentrated in a single Ohio location. The city pattern therefore offers limited evidence of a local cluster in this week’s registry update.
These records describe NPI registry status changes for Ohio nurses, not a complete measure of workforce departures, licensing actions or current clinical availability.
