GTE you may want to check with local AHJ. When I work in Las Vegas in the mid 80's they had their own additional code book and one of their requirements was no switches or receptacles within 5 feet of a tub or shower which usally putting the receptacle for a double bowl sink in the middle of a mirror.
I have been working in the Charlotte, NC area the past 13 years and I have seen the put the switches and receptacles right next to the tub or shower and the inspectors don't seem to have a problem with it.
