Profile of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor

Professor Ninon P. Amertil has an impressive background in nursing practice and education, with over 30 years of experience in various roles, including Chairperson, Dean, Director of Nursing, and Supervisor. She has a strong track record of achieving outstanding results, such as a 100% pass rate on the Nursing Council Licensure Examination-RN (NCLEX-RN) through the Nursing Student Success program she developed.

Professor Ninon P. Amertil came to Valley View University (VVU) in February 2013 from the United States. Before joining VVU, she served as Chairperson of Atlantic Union College, Dean at Holyoke Community College, and Director of Nursing for Planning and Operations at Massbay Community College.

She wrote and submitted a grant proposal to the Department of Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

More than 10,000 individuals received medical and nursing attention through these mission experiences.
