Bobbie Staten's journey from nursing to the stage is a testament to the power of embracing one's true calling. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Public Health from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she embarked on a diverse nursing career. She served as a head nurse, nursing supervisor, and psychiatric nursing instructor, gaining a deep understanding of the challenges people face in their personal and professional lives.

Beyond the stage, Bobbie is an active member of Sigma Theta Tau, the National Scholastic Nursing Honor Society, and the American Nurses Association. She resides in a charming 110-year-old farmhouse in the South with her husband, their teenage son, two spoiled dogs, and the occasional uninvited mouse.
