  1. You would need to get an undergraduate degree, do well on the MCATs in order to be accepted to med school, and then you do your residency and are trained in your specialty.  Expect about 12 years of training, or more.  The degrees you listed are all for nursing, which is entirely different.  


  2. CNA, LPN are nursing degrees; you need a degree in medicine instead unless you'd rather be a pediatric nurse.  To get an MD, you need 4-year of college (major in whatever you want, and take the pre-med course sequence), 4 years of medical school, and a 3 year residency.
