Early Clinical Informatics career advice

RN in direct patient care for >10y, recently transitioned into Informatics after a long, intentional search for a CI role. Any advice you wish you had when you started? How do you "keep your clinical brain alive" after the transition, esp long-term? What do you recommend to advance your skills/systems thinking, avoid HelpDesk purgatory, detox from bedside PTSD?

Feeder failure?

Hi y'all, I have a singular ruby-throated female that frequented my Thai basil left to bloom last year. I put a feeder up early spring this year (just prior to the bulk migration in my area, southern NH).

I planted some salvia and other nectar-producers, which she's returned frequently (10+ times a day some days), but she hasn't touched the feeder at all. I'm thrilled that she's coming back but I'm curious why she isn't using the feeder?

Details: I have a glass feeder, glass red top, use 1:4 sugar water, it's placed close to flowers she loves but I've moved it around to experiment. Sugar water is changed every 2-3 days. I'm in a 3rd floor suburban apartment with a balcony garden.
