Is this what I have to look forward to being a male nurse....

I recently got my cna license I was excited at first passing the boards and maybe finding a decent paying job. Unfortunately the excitement didnt last long I started looking on google and seen all these articles about male nurses and cna's either abusing their patients or sexually assaulting them I know not everyone is like this but it puts male nurse in a bad light. I began to think what if I am accused of doing something am I ready for my mugshot being shared online even if I maybe innocent maybe I am thinking to much into this because there are many male nurses who have been working in this field with no issues I guess what im asking is how should a male nurse go about enjoying his career while avoiding accusations that may occur.

Not to sound crass, this might be the most absurd post i've read. If a person abuses anyone, it is an interpersonal problem, not a systemic issue within their profession. I wouldnt worry about this unless you have a history of abusing others. I've honestly never even heard of these allegations.
