Take it to a shop that will diagnose the problem for free, then you know what to fix and how to do it at no cost (until you fix the problem that is)
If the compressor has low pressure I would say its time for replacement.

If you added the correct amount of refrigerant, and the compressor is spinning, just make sure that the compressor clutch is also engaged. Sometimes the clutch plates can wear down and are in need of adjustment. Good luck!!
what did the gauge say, how much pressure do you have before and after adding the r134a? Throw a can in with dye to check for leaks. I would have a hard time believing a Versa compressor kicked the bucket already.
The A/C is a sealed system.....if there is no air coming out then either the system has lost its refrigderant or the compressor is not working correctly.

But, make sure the the temperature control is working too. I am not sure if its cable driven, but on many vehicles (like my Honda) the cables can wear out. So, even when it says it is on max cool it really is only half way. I have to go under the dash and manually push over the lever.
Okay here is an update they diagnosed that my compressor was bad so i changed it today
and i got one from a crashed 2011 tiida(versa) for 130$
plus labour and refilling the a/c system with refrigerant about 70 $
and its colderthan it ever was even on lowest setting its freezing
