Probably not. Most such licenses, unlike Driver's Licenses, are restricted to the state they were issued in.

However, if you already have a NY license, they may have a fast-track way of getting your NJ license without having to go through too many hurdles to get it.

Good luck, and the link below is to the webpage for the New Jersey Board Of Nursing who would probably be the one to issue the NJ license for you...
