I did this yesterday with a 96 Sentra no fluid came out of the drivers side and right rear wheel cylinder-it came out to be a bad master cylinder. Hence: The master cylinder is the one that creates hydraulic pressure within the brake system if it doesn't do its job nothing is gonna come out from the other end. Here is a video and guide below to help you bleed the brake system correctly.

Please run down these guides and report back. You can try a rebuild kit and make sure the line that goes to the drivers side is open.
