Think of it like an interview. If you get the chance to speak with current students ask them about their experience at your school, what they wished they'd known before hand, etc.

Read all the materials before you arrive tomorrow. That should give you a good idea of what questions you'll need to ask. Keep your list of questions with you and as they're answered in the presentation, check them off. If there are any unanswered questions (or new questions) by the time they're done, then you'll know what questions you'll need to ask. Each nursing program is different, so there are no "right" or "wrong" questions to ask.

If there are former students or students in the classes ahead of you who are at your orientation, try to talk to them and get their perspective on nursing school. Who were their favorite instructors? Who was their favorite clinical instructor? Which hospital/facility did they like best? Etc.

Good luck! :D
