Rate My Professor Hosu Ryu

Hosu Ryu served as a Lecturer in the School of Nursing and Midwifery at La Trobe University, where she made significant contributions to nursing education and research. She earned her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the University of Melbourne, with her doctoral thesis focused on implementing clinical supervision for mental health nurses. Prior to her academic roles, Ryu gained extensive clinical experience as a mental health nurse at The Royal Melbourne Hospital and NorthWestern Mental Health. Her career at La Trobe included teaching undergraduate nursing students, particularly in mental health education, emphasizing a person-centered approach encapsulated in her philosophy to "see the person, not the diagnosis." She actively collaborated with industry partners to deliver recovery-oriented education and co-designed curriculum elements with registered nurses to enhance undergraduate nursing programs.

Ryu's research specializes in clinical supervision for nurses, with a strong emphasis on mental health nursing contexts, including implementation factors, resilience, equity, and emotional experiences of early-career nurses. Notable publications include "Early career mental health nurses’ emotional experiences in specialist eating disorder units, Victoria, Australia" (International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, 2022), which garnered 21 citations; "Factors that influence the clinical supervision implementation for nurses: A scoping review" (Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2025); "Characteristics of Clinical Supervision for Mental Health Nurses: A Survey Study Using the MCSS-26" (Journal of Clinical Nursing, 2025); "Clinical supervision and resilience in nurses: A scoping review" (Nurse Education Today, 2025); "Mental Health Nurses' Perception of Clinical Supervision Implementation Mapped Against a Program Logic: A Survey Study" (Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2025); and multiple 2025 articles in the International Journal of Mental Health Nursing on topics such as the implementation environment of clinical supervision, re-visiting the content validity of the Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale, equity in supervision, and transformational approaches to supervisor development. Her work has appeared in leading journals and conference proceedings, including presentations on undergraduate mental health education and clinical supervisor masterclasses at events like the Australian College of Mental Health Nursing conference. Ryu received the Vice-Chancellor's Early Career Teaching Award from La Trobe University in 2022 and a Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning from the Australian Awards for University Teaching in 2024, recognizing her innovative teaching practices. She also served on the Diversity and Inclusion Committee of the School of Nursing and Midwifery from 2020 to 2021.
