Yes, karma will prevail. I wouldn't be surprised if she hates the job.
Your friend obviously should have known it was in bad taste to apply for the job when you were unemployed. I know I would have never been able to do that. I have to point out though, when she asked you, you told her it was okay. That doesn't make it okay, but I think it would have probably been better to tell her up front how you really felt about it. She got her justification from you and that was good enough for her.
I'm sorry you had to go through this. I know the umemployed feeling very well. It sucks. Last year I was unjustly fired from my job and was very distraught. I was on the verge of losing my apartment when I finally got the offer for my current job. Now I'm making $3.00 more an hour, and its s-o-o-o much more pleasant. Getting fired from there was the best thing that ever happened to me! It was one of those places that sucked you in and made you complacent even though you hated it there. I could still be stuck in that h*ll hole! So try to think of it as it just wasn't meant to be. Wish her luck and know you'll find something better.

P.S. It was a 'friend' who got me fired. I had so much dirt on her and debated heavily about getting her back. I really could have too. But I decided that was being negative, which just brings on more negativity. I held my ground, and waited to see if this karma thing would really work. Her apartment was broken into two weeks later and they stole EVERYTHING. And now I have a substantionally better job than she does, and she's stuck at that horrible place (that she hated as well). Of couse I don't revel in her misfortune. Wishing ill will on her will change nothing about my situation. But it is interesting to step back and see that everyone seemed to get what they deserved in the end.
