However, with the increased mobility of nurses integral to the ongoing European immigration crises, accountability to 'WHO's Global code of practice on the international recruitment of healthcare personnel (2010)' provokes challenges to fair labour practices and ethical recruitment of nurses, which have yet to be attained in various European countries. In this regard, critical examination of the 'European nurse directors proto-code of ethics and conduct', revealed an important gap; the value and moral conduct, specific to the ethical recruitment and mobility of nurses across borders, is missing. Resolution of this issue dictates European nurse leaders attention to expand the ethical underpinnings of the current proto-code for congruence with WHO's core values of humanity protection and well-being.
