Fab5 Award Winner 2016 - Katie Dutton

My DistanceLearningCentre.com journey started with the in April/May 2014, I got off to a great start with everything, completing most of my psychology modules at distinction. I was working full-time as a HCA in a London Cancer Hospital, so I was constantly tied up with work, commuting and studying, but I knew distance learning would be the only way I could achieve my dream of being a urology specialist nurse.

In 2015 I was admitted into hospital 3 times with septicaemia and eventually they found a hole in my bladder (fistula) which was constantly poisoning my abdomen. I found this out in the August after many invasive tests, and I was struggling to get my coursework completed, I thought I'd never get through the course. My tutor explained study break to me, and I took this opportunity to rest and try to get well again. I spent the duration of the study break in hospital, and a large amount of time in ITU; my husband was called to the hospital at one stage because they thought I wouldn't make it through the night. Luckily I did, and in December last year I went to theatre and had my bladder completely removed.

Since my operation I've gone from strength to strength, and I now have an internal reconstructed bladder made from bowel tissue (neobladder) thanks to UCLH. In February I started working on my assignments again, my tutor was really supportive and would call to explain things I couldn't understand. I was determined to finish the course and somehow managed to achieve merits and distinctions on all graded assignments.

I will always be grateful to DistanceLearningCentre.com, and the tutors that stood by me and helped me through a very difficult year. Without them I wouldn't be off to university in September to start my nursing degree. There were times when I lost faith, I thought it was too much work and I thought I wasn't clever enough. To anybody that's starting with DistanceLearningCentre.com, my advice would be to keep the finish line in mind and when things get tough, hold on to the reason you're doing it- YOU will get there, no matter how many obstacles stand in your way!

I finished school 5 years ago now and was working for a year as a healthcare assistant in my local hospital, I decided I wanted to study nursing and go to university to do so.

I was recommended DistanceLearningCentre.com by one of my nursing friends so I made the decision to enroll for an access to nursing course to get back into studying.

Now I have had three offers from universities which I didn't think was possible and can't wait to go through this new experience and become a nurse thanks to DistanceLearningCentre.com for preparing me. (Jun 16)

I completed an access to midwifery course with DistanceLearningCentre.com. I had a full time job working with people with mental health issues and I completed my studies in my own time.

I would never have had time to go to college so distance learning suited me very well. The course material and support given was excellent.

Completing the course has given me an acceptance in the University of East Anglia to study adult nursing. Thank you very much DistanceLearningCentre.com, I really appreciate everything you've done. (Jun 16)
