the order in which things happen with an offer

[21strawberry]

So...I had a phone interview on Weds in CA and heard from my agency that the hospital wants to hire me. I got a brief breakdown of pay from my recruiter, then a fill-in recruiter left me a message today asking if they can tell the hospital that I will be accepting. I'm thinking I have to get a more formal offer of terms, pay, benefits etc from the agency before telling sub recruiter that they can tell the hospital I'm in...right?

First-timer, sorry.

The agency can tell the hospital anything they want. From your perspective, just tell them you'll be happy to commit, pending acceptance of a contract you have yet to see.
