First I assume you want to be a full stack JavaScript developer.

Node will be used to build and bundle your React code. Often React courses will teach enough Node for you to be able to do that.

Most Node course will teach you how to create a server, and API, and security, and work with a database. That's overkill for learning React.

So I recommend learning React first, then Node.
