No, a nurse and a pediatrician are not the same thing. A pediatrician is a type of physician and has a different level of training than a nurse. To become a pediatrician, you would need a medical degree after completing medical school. If you are trained in the United Kingdom, this would be a Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB or MBBS) and if you train in the United States, you can receive either a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) or Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. In addition to receiving a medical degree, you must also receive your medical license and complete pediatric residency training if you wish to be a pediatrician. There is no requirement for majoring in Nursing to become a pediatrician.
Depending on the level sought, the common science courses particular to nursing (outside of the professional phase nursing courses) are as follows.
Yes you do. To be a Paediatric nurse you need a minimum of 5 GCSE's. You must have at least one GCSE in science and another in English literature or English language.
Yes. You're still a doctor, just a specialized one.
Yes, and during your nursing studies you will be taking a full load of science so the more High School Science credits that you have, the easier nursing school will be to complete.

One would first need to become a registered nurse, which requires you to take a test. An Associate of Science in Nursing or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing are both sufficient to prepare one for this test. Next, at least a few months of job experience is needed (usually under supervision of an experienced nurse). Most states only require a nurse to be officially licensed as an RN, but some states require a number of certifications.
