You need to tell the area where your training center will be.

housing - Single room 150 OMR
Food - 50-75 Rials
Transport - Depends on area n mode.

670 is good or not... you know better as you know your present salary and coniditions.

That sounds great.. It wonders me coz I've been asking for information about this from people I know working now in Oman but they won't give me information.

May I know some helpful general information regarding the hospital? Like the services offered? the bed capacity of the hospital? is it great to work there for nurses?
Is the accomodation for Male Nurses are good?
What is the acceptable range of salary for nurses?
