Run a Google search for your state or city. You'll get a rough estimate. Use the low range versus the high range for a more viable calculation. A full-time RN works 36 to 40 hours a week. Once you have your pay range, say $60k-80k (example only), you can do the math for weekly then hourly pay. 60,000 ÷ 52 = weekly, then divide by 36. Do it again for 40 hrs a week. Then repeat it all for the top end ($80,000). Depending on the state, the institution, you could be paid monthly, twice a month, weekly or every two weeks. Just to let you know, during my career as a nurse, I've either been paid weekly or every two weeks here in Oregon.

Hello!
The starting salary will vary. This will depend on what area you live and where you work. This is not the same over the world as cost of living and other things will make a difference. If you want to get a more definite answer, you could possibly check job listings near your home to see what the starting pay is.
