RN in one state...can I work as something else in another state?

Hey nurses,

I'm a new grad nurse. Been working for about 9 months now in a NJ hospital. I applied for my NY license, but it seems to be taking forever. I submitted everything, they received it but they haven't processed everything yet. They have to verify my education. Apparently they are backlogged so now I have to wait longer. I'm content with my current job, working 7p-7a, and I like the people I work with. The salary is just ok, but it certainly isn't enough for me. It could be better. I don't feel like waiting for my NY license. I know eventually it will come, but I just can't wait. I was thinking while waiting I could get a per diem job as a unit secretary at a NYC hospital or something. Or even a patient care tech (I used to be one before becoming an RN). I need extra cash. My question is...can I still work in a hospital in NYC as a secretary, tech, etc. while I have my RN license here in Jersey?
