For the new grad RN, the starting pay is 18.50. As for what shift you work depends on what hospital you're at. Each hospital has different differentials.
As for the CNA/LPN/RN, it depends on what program you go for. If you go for either RN or LPN, you can go for a CNA after a few months of being in the nursing program. And then there are some programs that offer an unlicensed nursing assistant position (which are like care partners). From my experience, CNA to RN would be much better.
