Attending: it means that a particular doctor can admit patients to the hospital under his own name, depending on what privileges he has requested.

Hospital privileges: Hi. It means the doctor can treat patients and write orders in that hospital. Having a license to practice in a state doesn't give you a right to walk into any hospital and treat patients there or write orders there; you must get privileges at each hospital you work at.
