Pennsylvania recorded 5 nurse deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 17-23, accounting for 9% of the national total. All five records were individuals; the update listed 0 organizations. The deactivations occurred during the week ending Aug. 23 and represent administrative changes in the federal NPPES registry, not by themselves a license action or confirmation that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials and Cities
Family Nurse Practitioner was the most common retired taxonomy, with 2 records. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Licensed Practical Nurse and Critical Care Neonatal Nurse Practitioner each appeared once. Pittsburgh was the leading city, with 2 deactivations. Greenville, Mercer and Harrisburg each had one. The concentration is therefore limited: the largest credential group and the largest city each account for two records, while the remaining entries are distributed across three credentials and three cities.
Registry Context
The records cover individual nurses rather than organizations, and the listed taxonomies span advanced practice, anesthesia, practical nursing and neonatal critical care roles. Because NPI deactivation is an administrative status change, the weekly count should be read as a measure of registry activity rather than a direct measure of Pennsylvania’s active nursing workforce, provider availability or changes at specific practices.
