A couple of weeks ago at clinical, I also obseved in the OR, and it was freezing!! It was so cold in there, and I was shivering! I put on lab jacket from the OR. Anyway, it is definitely cold! As far as the boring part goes, I enjoyed it. I can see what you mean in that it's the same old routine day in and out, as far as procedure pretty much goes, but I liked seeing the different procedures done, but I also would like to know a little bit about the history of the patient like why they're having the procedure done, and what their medical history has been like and things like that. Just thought I'd reply to your OR experience, since I just did that too! Now, I have to study for a mother/baby test tomorrow!! Yikes!
