| Notes | NZ Registered Nurse badge issued to Nurse Iris Frazer, Waikato Hospital, 1940 The Badge The designer of the Five Pointed Star was Mrs Grace Neill, who was appointed assistant inspector of hospitals in New Zealand in 1895. Mrs Neill was successful in having the State Registration for Nurses Act passed in 1901, and was a foundation member of the International Council of Nurses. The badge was first issued in 1901. The Five-Pointed Star badge of the New Zealand Registered Nurses was the recognised badge of those connected with Medicine and "originated with the Priests of the Temple of Isis - who had become a powerful body of healing - To secure admission of reliable and worthy men Oaths of Allegiance were sworn upon a representation of a five-point star - Each point of the star was of peculiar import representing volition, fidelity, or intellect and were explained to the candidate for admission as follows- 1. The Hand. That my hand shall be ever extended to help, comfort and relieve the sick and suffering. 2. The Foot. That my feet shall not falter, loiter or linger, when journeying to alleviate the suffering of the sick. 3. The Knee. That my knee shall bow in supplication to Almighty Ra, for aid in my endeavour to succour and relieve the sick and the suffering. 4. The Breast. That my breast shall be a safe and sacred repository for any secret entrusted to me or divulged during the sickness of delirium, or otherwise obtained. 5. The Head. That I will constantly pursue the study of the secret arts. That I will exercise my knowledge to the benefit of the suffering mental or bodily distress and that I will disseminate such knowledge among others that my preceptors may authorise and direct." From- The Origin of the Five Point Star- Kai Tiaki - the journal of the nurses of New Zealand, Volume IX, Issue 1, January 1916, Page 42 Major Iris Frazer, ARRC (1915-2001) New Zealand Army Nursing Service , Royal New Zealand Nursing Corps Iris Frazer trained at Waikato Hospital, graduating in 1940. She worked in hospitals at Opotiki, Kawakawa and Whangarei before joining the New Zealand Army Nursing Service in December 1944. During 1945 Iris served on HS Maunganui and with 5 NZGH at Bari, Italy. She then joined 6 NZGH in Florence, and served with that unit in Japan from March to August 1946 when she returned to New Zealand. Over the next three years Iris worked in a number of hospitals in New Zealand and Australia before rejoining the Army in 1950 serving at various army camps, and finally becoming Matron at Papakura Camp Hospital in January 1960. Following her retirement from the Army Iris Frazer continued to tutor at civilian hospitals. Her medals include the Associate Royal Red Cross (awarded 1969), the New Zealand Service Medal 1946-49 Occupation of Japan, and the 1953 Coronation Medal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
