What do healthcare employers look for in a resume?

Put your license or registration where it cannot be missed: next to your name or at the top of a certifications section, with the state or country that issued it.
Name the setting and its size. A 28-bed surgical unit, a four-dentist practice and a home-care round of nine clients tell a recruiter far more than the job title does.
Show safety and accuracy with numbers you can stand behind: patients per shift, audit results, falls, waiting times. Leave out anything that could identify a patient.
