that the GFCI receptacles in the bathroom are wired wrong. Check for

If anything works in that outlet, the nitelite should also work.
Failure of the light to work does not indicate any of the above
scenarios.

The hair drier probably had a GFCI device of its own and the
toothbrush has
a sophisticated power supply as the front end while the nightlight is
a
simple resistive load. Did the hairdrier and toothbrush have
grounding
prongs on the cords and the nightlight not. That would indicate the
neutral
wire is open to the receptacle.

No it would not. Unless the hairdryer and toothbrush have been modified
form their original UL approved configuration, they could not possibly
send current down the protective ground wire instead of the neutral
wire.

The most likely culprit is that the prongs of the nitelite just don't
mate well with the contacts in the receptacle. Either get a new
receptacle, a new nitelite, or put one of those "3-to-2 prong" thingies
between the lite and receptacle to change the way the contacts mate.
