Is hospice trying to kill my mother?

The nurses are giving conflicting information in regards to medication which has had very bad effects on my mothers health. I feel like they don't really care if the meds aren't right because eventually she is going to die anyway so what's the big deal? If it was up to them my mother would have chocked to death from inappropriate asthma management.

Jolly613, is your mom in a care center, a private home, or a hospice house? What is her terminal condition? Who is in charge of the medications she is getting?

The purpose and goal of hospice is to keep the dying person comfortable and pain-free. It is neither to prolong their life nor to shorten it.
