Ruth Wei

Dr Ruth Wei has 30 years of experience in nursing practice, education and research in Australia and China and has expertise in cross-cultural care and quality improvement in nursing.

I have worked as a registered nurse in China and a scheduled medicines registered nurse (rural and isolated practice) in Australia, with a broad range of experience to provide care to patients in a range of settings from intensive care units, emergency departments, surgical wards to community settings. Currently, I teach and supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students with a variety of topics at Murdoch University.

One of my special areas of interest is palliative care and end-of-life care, and death education. I am the principal investigator on an ongoing research project to explore the expectation, experience, and perceptions of palliative care in Chinese migrants living in Australia and a chief investigator in a work-life integration and well-being research project.
