Pilot and Nurse

Hi, just wondering if anybody could give me some advice.
I am a commercial Helicopter Pilot and also an Emergency/ICU nurse.
I have recently put in my application as Navy Pilot and I put 'Nurse' as my 2nd preference. I thought that if I don't make it through the process as pilot this time, I could go in as a nurse and then try and swap over in a year or so.
Some people have told me this is a good idea, and others are saying that it will be nearly impossible to swap over once they have assigned me a job.
Should I get the nurse preference off the application and just go for pilot?
I really want to join the Navy and I wouldn't mind nursing for a little while longer but ultimately I want to be a pilot (especially since I just spent $60,000 on a license).
If I don't make it through PSA this time, will I be able to try again?
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated
