Welcome to the wonderful world of orchids! If you do well with other plants I think you will have a wonderful time learning about orchids. They are fascinating and rewarding.
You say you are a visual person and I get that. So much of orchids can be a visual experience.
The node is the little bump on the flower stem of some orchids like Phalaenopsis where a flower was attached. There is a picture on the page http://www,.orchids-plus-more.com/prune-your-orchids.html that might help.
As far as help with pruning of your orchid, tell me what kind it is and I can make some specific recommendations. It is different for different kinds of orchids.
If it is a Phalaenopsis then read the page on Phalaenopsis on my site. http://www,.orchids-plus-more.com/phalaenopsis-orchid-care.html Another good page is the Frequently Asked Questions page
http://www,.orchids-plus-more.com/frequently-asked-questions.html
Both of these pages have a lot of good free information.
