You need to apply to CABVNPT for license by endorsement and submit all required paperwork, license verification and transcript. Depending on the school you attended most should meet the educational requirements but only the BVNPT can make that determination.
You can find the requirements for endorsing your license to CA here: http://www.bvnpt.ca.gov/licensing/application_for_vocational_nurse_licensure_by_endorsement.shtml

You will need a California LVN license if you want to work in California. Your New Jersey LPN license is valid only in New Jersey.
Submit an application with the appropriate fees to the California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians (CA BVNPT) for an LVN license by endorsement.
