If you know the prevailing new grad pay rates for your geographic area, this question should be rather simple to answer. Since you're in Indiana, I assume the pay rates are lower in your area.

1. $20 hourly at 40 hours per week equals $800 per week.

2. $25 hourly at 40 hours per week equals $1,000 per week.

3. $30 hourly at 40 hours per week equals $1,200 per week.

4. $35 hourly at 40 hours per week equals $1,400 per week.

Of course, your earnings will be eroded by taxes, benefits, and other deductions. I'm an LPN/LVN who received a first paycheck of about $1,200 for a two-week period. This was 3 years ago.

Take what you make per hour, gross, multiply it by the number of hours, and deduct roughly 16 to 17% for taxes, then subtract your health insurance or any other extras that you signed up for.

Cool question. I've been struggling trying to figure out what weekly payments would be approximately. My previous job was in the miltary- I got paid on the 1st & 15th, and it was never broken down by hour.

i work 36 hours with some overtime here and there (staying for a few minutes after 730 finish up report and what not) and i bring home (net)usually around $2,000 every 2 weeks

as a CNA, I went from 1200 bucks a month to 2400. quite a nice bump. doubled it overnight. I make about 28bucks a hour with a shift diff.

Locolorenzo22 is that what you as a cna? If you don't mind me asking did you have to do overtime to acheive that?
