First, you need a bachelor's degree; let's say four years. Medical school is another 4 years, and when you're done you'll have an M.D., but you won't actually be a pediatrician until you complete a residency in pediatrics, which will take another 3-4 years, depending on the program.

Is it best to become a pediatric nurse before a pediatrician?

It depends on what your goals are. To become a pediatric nurse you'll have to get a Bachelor's degree in Nursing and get a job. To become a pediatrician you'll have to get a Bachelor's degree, sit for the MCAT and apply for medical school. After medical school you apply for your specialty. If you wanted you could work as a nurse to pay the way for medical school, however you'll have to double your education time since you can't work full-time and go to medical school full-time. Also nursing doesn't translate over into the medical field, we use a different set of diagnoses and we focus on different aspects of patient care.
