Make Applications Stand Out

First time poster, long time lurker. I'm pretty sure this website got me through my BSN. Moving on...

I'm looking for ways to make my resume stand out. I started on a step-down unit, was there for two years, then moved states and started in a CVICU two years ago. I had every intention of going to CRNA school...then I changed my mind. I have no idea what I want to do--maybe teach or possibly NP but it won't be for a few years at least. What I do know though is that I don't love where I live. My husband and I want to relocate to California: I have family in San Francisco and San Diego. We'd love to go to either place.

I applied for a few jobs in ICU's in both cities but never heard back. I have my CCRN-CMC-CSC certifications, I work as a charge nurse, precept new hires and students, I take all of the sickest patients including VADs, CRRT, IABP, etc., and I know I can get outstanding recommendations from doctors, my supervisors, and coworkers. I also float down to the emergency room every few weeks and will sometimes work as house supervisor (to be honest, I hate both of those jobs and really just want to be in ICU but I am a team player).

Any suggestions on what else I can add/do to improve my resume and hopefully start hearing back? I don't want to go to med/surg or really any other specialty; ICU is my home.
