Dr. Furcsik serves Aultman College of Nursing and Health Sciences as The Nursing Program Director as well as Assistant Professor in the undergraduate nursing programs. Her clinical background includes over 24 years in long-term care, medical-surgical nursing, and nursing education. She holds a membership and is active in multiple nursing organizations, sits on multiple college committees, and serves the community through various local outreach programs.

Dr. Furcsik has instructed across all programs of the Nursing Division. As the Nursing Program Director, she strives to make a positive impact on the future of students by promoting learning in and out of the classroom. She believes that from developing new and innovative teaching strategies to structuring inspiring curriculum, nursing faculty must be student-centered and invested in student success. This success will carry over to influence quality nursing care and improved patient outcomes in practice.

After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Kent State University in 1999, Professor Furcsik later continued in her pursuit of education and received a Master of Science in Nursing from Walsh University in 2014. In 2023 she has completed her Doctorate in Nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University. She also has further validated her education by obtaining her certification in nursing education.

While nursing education is her passion, she also is actively involved in the community by serving in various roles at her local church. She enjoys spending time with her husband and children; as well as visiting the beach, sewing, and caring for the family dogs.
