What happens when you work with numerous agencies?

[bald1rn]

I am going through the application process with multiple (5) travel agencies. I am looking for an assignment in the ED department in a particular state. So---- I have sent my resume and paper work to these 5 agencies and more that one of them has forwarded my application to the SAME hospital. (i.e. the hospital receives the same resume from 2 or more different travel companies) My question is "what happens?" One of the recruiters told me not to do this because it causes confusion at the hospital level. I did it because I want to negotiate the best travel package from among several travel agencies. Any advice?

Thanks, I'm new to this- it will be my first travel assignment

I was told that if more than once agency submits you to the same facility you won't be hired and it's just bad practice. You have to keep track on your own of where each agency is submitting you and no agency should submit you without talking to you first. Good luck with that, I just can't bring myself to work with more than once company at a time, too confusing if you ask me!
