How Can/Do Filipina Nurses Fund Jobs in the US?

How can Filipina nurses find jobs in the US and other Western countries? Is it easy? What do they need to get those jobs? How long does it take? How much money can they hope to make? What are the steps for a Filipina nurse who has just passed the board exam in her country to look for a lucrative job in the US?
Is the US the easiest or is Canada the easiest?

I meant Find, not Fund. My typo.

My friend and I are both married to Filipinas. He is also from the Philippines. His wife is a Doctor, and came to the US a few years back. Her certificates meant almost nothing in the US. Doctors, like Lawyers, must have a license to practice, and that license is based on US training. The same goes for Nursing. While her training and exams from the Philippines do count for something, she will still need to apply for her Nursing certificate in the US, and will certainly have to take additional classes in the US to get it.

Personally, I think that the Nursing training and exams in the Philippines are equal to or better than those in the US, but since it is the opinion of the State and not mine that counts, that is way it is. I do not know if Canada is any easier than the US, but I know that a Nursing certificate from Canada is good in the US and vice versa in most cases with a simple review board to rubber stamp it.
