The supplied source contains only a headline — "Medscape RN/LPN Compensation Report 2026: Where Did the Growth Go?" — and a link, with no article body, statistics, quotes, or methodology.

Your editorial rules prohibit adding information absent from the source, so I cannot produce a 520–1000 word news item. Any figures on nurse pay growth, sample sizes, survey dates, or employer implications would be fabricated.

To proceed, please provide one of the following:

• The full text of the Medscape RN/LPN Compensation Report 2026 coverage
• A summary of the report's key findings (salaries, percentages, sample size)
• An alternative source with complete body text

Once the actual report data is available, I can deliver the piece in your house style: leading with the strongest statistic, tying it to retention and compensation decisions for healthcare employers, and closing with a forward-looking line grounded in the findings.
