Since you're there seeking a CNA position, but not actually there working as a CNA, I think a nice interview outfit would be wonderful.

Something tasteful...no perfume...light makeup...minimal jewelry. A nice smile goes without saying

I second that--either a nice suit (skirt or pants with jacket) or a simple neutral dress, low heels (clean) small earrings (one set) simple makeup, no perfume, and a big smile and firm handshake!

hmm I think either should be fine, I have always worn scrubs to my interviews, with light makeup, hair up, nice clean black shoes, basically just how I would look when they would hire me, scrubs can look professional

Every job I have went for so far as being a CNA I have been offered the job, I havent taken all of them, but ive been offered the job during the interview for 2 home health places, a nursing home, and now a hospital... and I have always worn scrubs and acted really professional, and ive only just started working as a CNA in may... dunno if it was the scrubs or not but just giving a personal example

So honestly just wear whatever you feel most comfortable in and act professional!!
