Mostly a noisy nuisance for the short term. It will affect cornering performance to some degree but since its in the rear the effect will be lessened. Worst case is the bushing fails completely and you get metal-to-metal contact and ruin the control arm.

How worn are the bushings? Can you move the control arm around by hand? Is the bushing visibly worn/torn/broken? If all looks well and you can't move it around too much by hand then you're probably ok for a month or so. If its pretty bad already, then sooner would be better.
