Yes, you'll be fine.

What oil are you running? (even if it's conventional, you'll still be ok though)

You should be fine, I just left my job where i was a quick lube manager, i saw cars that went 6000miles to 18,000miles on an oil change...(dont ask what happened to that engine), anyways dont make it a habit to go over on an oil change, but if you have to you have too. before your next oil change add half a quart or trans fluid to the oil and run it for 20 minutes or so then change the oil...trans fluid is a great and safe engine flush....

not to be a pain in the butt, but go look around your house and get change then go to a coin star, i have found $60 this way. Then go to wal-mart and buy a Supertech oil filter and some Supertech oil, it i ill cost you 4.88 for the oil and 1.99 for the filter, that is what $7, and then just change your oil in a month or so when you have the money. Clean oil is better oil, no matter what kind it is.
