CHICAGO (WLS) -- Ronna Ellwing left
the corporate board room to become a
nurse in the far north suburbs-- and her
hard work helping others has not gone
unnoticed.

Once a corporate vice president of a
Chicago-based health care company,
Ellwing is now a Special Needs Nurse in Lake County Illinois, where she makes much less money.

"I love doing this so I decided I was going to leave the corporate world and I really thought it would only be for one year to take a break work with Special Education students and that was 8 years ago; I've never gone back," said Ellwing.

For her work with special needs public
school students ages 18 to 22, she was named the winner of the Visiting Nurses Super Star In Community Nursing Award.

"Most people who have gotten this award have done a lot of great distinguished things in the community and I just love what I'm doing and just love coming to work. It was a really surprise to me," said Ellwing. As winner of the 2008 VNA Super Star in Community Nursing Award, she received a unrestricted prize of $25,000.

Ellwing plans to spend a portion of her prize on her students.
