Need ideas please 

Ever since the pandemic patients are demanding a singleroom. Or they refuse to move to a shared room. This always results in aggression 

Does anyone know of a strategy that works

Let them know that they will pay for the whole room, insurance will not pay the excess, and let them know that rate. This should be a conversation by your unit manager or MSW or Care Coordinator, not a floor nurse
