The result of the research findings led to the conclusion that eclectic method was more effective than scientific approach to teach writing for the eighth semester students of the Nursing Study Program, Faculty of Health, Harapan Bangsa University. It was proven that the mean score of the students’ writing in experimental class was 78.19 while the mean score of the students’ writing in control class was 72.14.
