No such file or directory Terminal

I am trying to understand the logic of the PATH directory and have been going through the threads here. I basically installed node onto my machine but for some reason Terminal cannot find via cd node:

MACHINE:~ KEN$ cd node
-bash: cd: node: No such file or directory

I have listed the contents of my bin directory (which it can find) and it it is clearly there:

ls /usr/local/bin/
git             git-receive-pack    git-upload-pack   npm
git-credential-osxkeychain  git-shell       github
git-cvsserver       git-upload-archive  node

Is there something I am missing?

Is node a directory? You can only use the cd command to open a directory.

Try:

cd /usr/local/bin/

ls

and see what it shows. Normally the directories are blue listed
