Maxto,
Just relax; The Slotations are about the planes to learn how to fly jets in. Speeds aren't much different than a turboprop, and the straight wing has all the same landing characteristics of a 172.
You asked about power settings, I have to agree with DC8driver, just do what it takes. If you want Ballpark 60% is about Vref, 78% is 210 knots, and 88% is 250 knots at 10,000, but hell that works in just about every jet I've been in.
If everything works out, you'll be extremely bored in about 100 hours or so. However once you start flying some of the other more exciting jets, you will learn to enjoy the Slotations easy mannerisms even more.
On last thing the landing gear tends to be rather stiff on SII's so don't worry too much about the grease job.
I really can't think of any other gotcha's on the Citation, other than knowing your routing since you might have to make a few turns to let faster traffic pass then Center gives you a direct "Wherethef$ck is that."
