Autumn Forgione received her BSN from Villanova ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ and MSN in Adult and Geriatric Nursing from the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ of Pennsylvania. She has extensive experience in both clinical and academic settings, having served as as the Director of the Brain Tumor Center and a Nurse Practitioner in the Neurosurgery Department at the Hospital of the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ of Pennsylvania.
Since 2010, Autumn has been involved with the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ's nursing program, initially as a part-time clinical faculty member and nursing lab instructor. In 2016, she transitioned to a full-time role as the Nursing Lab Educator, where she supported undergraduate students in developing clinical proficiency and coordinated high-fidelity simulation days.
Currently, as the Director of the Nursing Simulation Center, Autumn focuses on advancing simulation and skills training to ensure that both undergraduate and graduate nursing students meet essential clinical standards. Her work in simulation helps bridge gaps in clinical experiences, allowing students to safely practice critical skills that may not be accessible in traditional clinical settings.
