Support Network Map: Five Failures This Term Could Bring and, for Each, Who I Ask First, Second and Third

How This Map Is Organized

This map is organized by the failures most likely to happen this term, not by the people I know. Each failure comes from the earlier assignments: the audit, the constraint analysis and the scripts. For each failure, the map names who I would ask, in what order, what the ask costs them and what I give back. Offices come before people where an office exists, because an office is paid to help and a friend's help has to be returned. I am a respiratory therapist on 12-hour nights, and the person my daughter and grandmother both count on, and my nights are now fixed on Sunday to Tuesday until the term ends.

Failure 1: A Night Shift Runs Late on the Morning a Paper Is Due

What happens: a rapid response or a difficult ventilator wean keeps me past 8 a.m. on a Wednesday when a paper is due at 11:59 p.m., and I wake at 3 p.m. with too little time.

First: the course instructor, through the extension policy in the syllabus, which allows a 48-hour extension once a term if requested before the deadline. Cost: one use of a limited extension. What goes back: nothing; it is policy.

Second: the university's student success coach, who can help me plan a short version that meets the rubric. Cost: an appointment slot. What goes back: nothing.

Third: my partner, who can take the evening routine alone so I have from 4 to 9 p.m. Cost: a full solo evening. What goes back: I take the next two evening routines.

Failure 2: My Grandmother Runs Out of a Medication While I Am on Shift

What happens: a refill is missed and she calls at 9 p.m. on a Monday night, when I am at work.

First: the pharmacy's delivery service, which I set up this week; refills now arrive automatically. Cost: a small delivery fee. What goes back: nothing.

Second: her pharmacy's after-hours line, which can arrange an emergency supply. Cost: none to others.

Third: my sister, who lives 40 minutes from her and has a car. Cost: a late drive. What goes back: I take a Saturday with my sister's son.

What this page is doingPutting the pharmacy service and after-hours line before a relative shows offices are used first, which keeps personal favors for the failures nothing else covers.

Failure 3: My Daughter Is Sick on a Recovery Morning

What happens: she wakes with a fever on a Tuesday, the morning after a night shift, and cannot go to school.

First: my partner, if their work allows a day from home; we agreed this in the week 5 conversation. Cost: a sick day or remote day for my partner.

Second: my partner's sister, who works from home on Tuesdays. Cost: a day of interrupted work. What goes back: I cover a day for her son when he is out of school.

Third: I stay home and sleep in shifts, which costs me recovery sleep, so this is last.

Failure 4: I Fall Behind on Biostatistics

What happens: I do not understand a statistical method and lose an evening going in circles.

First: the course's live office hours, held Thursdays at noon, which fall on my free day. Cost: none.

Second: the university's online tutoring service, available 24 hours a day. Cost: none.

Third: a classmate in my discussion group who works in a hospital laboratory and has offered to compare notes. Cost: her time. What goes back: I review her paper drafts, which she asked for.

Failure 5: Signs of Burnout

What happens: I notice I am dreading every shift, snapping at home and losing sleep even on days off. Exhaustion and cynicism are the core signs of burnout (Maslach & Leiter, 2016), and I have felt the early version of both before.

First: the hospital's employee assistance program, which offers three free confidential counseling sessions. Cost: none to others.

Second: my primary care clinician, for sleep and mood. Cost: an appointment.

Third: my partner, to decide together whether to drop to one course next term.

Table 1

Support Network by Failure and Order of Asking

Failure	First	Second	Third
Shift runs late before a deadline	Syllabus extension	Student success coach	Partner takes the evening
Grandmother misses a medication	Pharmacy delivery	After-hours pharmacy line	Sister
Daughter sick on a recovery morning	Partner	Partner's sister	Stay home, split sleep
Behind in biostatistics	Office hours	Online tutoring	Classmate
Signs of burnout	Employee assistance program	Primary care clinician	Partner, about course load

Note. Note. Order reflects cost to others, with offices before people.

What the Ask Costs, and What Goes Back

Most of the people in this map appear once or twice. My partner appears three times, which is the warning in the map: if several failures hit in the same week, the plan leans too hard on one person. That is why offices come first, and why I have asked my sister and my partner's sister directly, rather than assuming they would help. Each personal ask has something going back, named in advance, so that help is a trade rather than a debt that builds up.

What this page is doingChecking how often one person appears, and naming what goes back for each favor, tests whether the network could actually hold under strain.

Gaps in the Map

Two gaps remain. No one in the map can take a night shift for me if I am ill on a study day before a deadline, which is a real possibility in winter, and the unit's sick-call process is the only route. And the map has no entry for a car breakdown, which would affect both my commute and my grandmother's errands at once.

Naming these gaps tells me where the next favor will have to come from if they happen, and both are worth raising with my partner before winter rather than in the middle of a bad week.

What this page is doingNaming the failures the map cannot cover is part of an honest map, since a network that claims to cover everything has not been tested against the term.

What the MPH 598 Week 6 assignment asks for

In the sixth week you map the people and offices you would turn to when parts of your plan fail. Organize the map by specific failures drawn from your earlier work, such as a deadline after a late shift or a sick child, rather than by listing the people you know. For each failure, give an order of whom to ask, with offices and services before personal favors where possible. State what each ask costs the person or office and what you would give back. Check whether one person appears so often that the plan depends on them. Name failures the map does not cover. Keep entries short enough to use in a hurry on a bad night.

How this MPH 598 Week 6 example is built

The map covers five failures: a shift running late before a deadline, a missed medication for the grandmother, a sick child on a recovery morning, falling behind in biostatistics and early signs of burnout. Each has three ranked options, starting with offices such as the syllabus extension, the student success coach, pharmacy delivery, office hours, online tutoring and the employee assistance program. Personal asks name what goes back, such as a Saturday with a nephew in return for a late drive. A table summarizes the order. The map notes that the partner appears three times, which is a risk, and names two gaps, a sick day before a deadline and a car breakdown.

Where the points sit in the MPH 598 Week 6 rubric

The biggest loss on a support map is treating help as free, so one person appears against every failure and the plan rests on someone who has never been asked. Names with no failure attached are the next weakness, since a general list of supporters cannot be used when something specific goes wrong. Maps that skip offices the writer is entitled to use, or that never say what goes back, also lose points. Leaving out failures the map cannot handle suggests it has not been tested. Strong maps are organized by failure, rank offices before people, price each ask, show reciprocity, check concentration on one person and name the gaps.

MPH 598 Week 6 help: mistakes that cost points

Support maps are hard to make realistic, because it is tempting to list everyone who might help. If you share the failures your plan is most exposed to, we can help you find offices and services you are entitled to use, order your options and say what each favor costs and what you would offer back. We can also help you check whether the map leans too heavily on one person. The people and offices on the map are your call. If your university offers services you are unsure about, such as tutoring hours or counseling for students, we can help you find out what each one actually covers before you put it on the map.

MPH 598 Week 6 questions, answered

Does somebody who is also part of the problem belong on the map?

Often, and saying so is the mark of a serious version. The relative who needs collecting on a Thursday can also be the one who takes the children on a Sunday, and a map separating those two facts describes nobody real. Finished maps record both, then place that name where the double claim puts it rather than where affection would.

What if my honest answer is that I would not ask anyone?

Then the assignment is about that, and it is a common answer among people used to being the one who gets asked. The finished version names what stops the asking, whether it is the debt it creates, a workplace where an absence is noticed, or the habit of the role, then builds the sequence out of offices and paid arrangements, which carry none of that weight.

Do the program's services have to be named exactly?

Name them the way your classroom names them, and where the name is uncertain, describe what the office does rather than inventing a title. What this row reads is whether the writer knows something exists and when it would be used, not whether the label is current. A service the writer has never contacted can still go on the map, provided the entry says as much.

Why does the MPH 598 Week 6 sample put offices before people?

Because offices are paid to help and asking them costs no one a favor, which saves personal asks for failures nothing else covers.
