About Chieko Onoda

Since graduating from the Cook
County School of Nursing in 1947,
Chieko Onoda has been tireless in
her efforts to help others. After
working for many years as a school
nurse in Northwest Indiana, Ms.
Onoda graduated from the University
of Colorado in 1972 as one of the first
pediatric nurse practitioners in the
country. She has written extensively and presented
information on the role of the pediatric nurse practitioner
in furthering the health of children. An endowed scholarship has been established in recognition of her
significant contribution to nursing and the success of our
students. We are most pleased to premiere a video
presentation celebrating her life at this event!
