You need to determine where the power is. Is it at the light switch or at
the light. It's not uncommon for either depending on where the power was
coming from.

I am trying to fix up my mom's bathroom. Currently she has a
fluorescent light on the wall with an outlet in the light fixture. I
want to replace this light by adding a GFCI outlet then connecting a
switch to the outlet that leads to a new light fixture. Would I simply
add the new outlet from the wires originally going into the light, run
a wire from the outlet to the switch, and then a wire to the new light
fixture. I have done some electric work in the past, but never really
rewired things. Any suggestions. Thanks again.
