j0[n_]:=FindRoot[BesselJ[0,x]==0,{x,n*2.5}];

Although not an issue in this specic application, finding Bessel zeros this way 
can result in duplicates

j0/@Range[9]//InputForm

{{x -> 2.404825557695773}, {x -> 5.52007811028631}, 
 {x -> 8.653727912911013}, {x -> 8.653727912911013}, 
 {x -> 11.791534439014281}, {x -> 14.930917708487787}, 
 {x -> 18.071063967910924}, {x -> 18.071063967910924}, 
 {x -> 18.071063967910924}}

Using the add-on for Bessel zeros avoids the problem:

Needs["NumericalMath`BesselZeros`"];

Thread[x->BesselJZeros[0, 9]]//InputForm

{x -> 2.404825557695773, x -> 5.5200781102863115, 
 x -> 8.653727912911013, x -> 11.791534439014281, 
 x -> 14.930917708487787, x -> 18.071063967910924, 
 x -> 21.21163662987926, x -> 24.352471530749305, 
 x -> 27.493479132040253}
