Please explain NPI number

I am starting a new job after being on hiatus for a bit (10 years-wow) and don't recall needing an NPI number with my previous work. Can anyone explain this to me? I read the info on the website, but still a bit confused as to the purpose of it. Also, I'm in Florida and can't prescribe controlled substances, so don't need a DEA number. Is there anything else that I need? I'm starting in a primary care ofc and will be the first ARNP the physicians have hired, so it's a learning process for us all, as to what all needs to be done. Thanks in advance.

    You will need an NPI number; this is available online and is free and quick to get, make sure you use your work address and phone not your home!

    Obviously you will need a current APRN license which I assume you have? Have you maintained your practice hours and renewed twice over the 10-year hiatus?

    Thank you both for your responses, and thanks Jaun for the link. Easy to understand and super fast to sign and get a number!
