What is the difference between a caregiver and a Registered Nurse?

Registered Nurses administer treatments a few hours a week which can include, but is not limited to, injections, medication administration, tube feeding, and other needs.
Those that are qualified to be a caregiver hold a Certified Nursing Assistance (CNA) certificate, while those that are quailed for providing medical services hold a Registered Nurse certificate.
